Hi all
if anyone he know about ipod car kit (AUX) i can use it for in G 55 2006...please
Thanks

 

I tried to find a kit made by dension or DICE for a 2006 G-Class but interestingly, 2006 is the only year not listed! both support models from 1999 to 2005 and DICE also support 2007 upwards. Nothing for 2006. Try contacting them directly and see why the 2006 G is not listed on their sites.

There are more companies that make ipod integration kits listed at the bottom of this page on apple's site. good luck

 

Thanks Dear

 

The 2006 G55 has an AUX input for the COMAND head unit, but Mercedes did not wire it. You have to get your dealer to remove the COMAND system, connect the appropriate cable to the AUX input, and then place it in the glove box or wherever you want to connect your iPod to it. A proper iPod kit only became available in later models.

 

The problem with the aux input is that it will not charge the IPOD/IPHONE.
It also may disable the CD changer.

I use the Macally unit as below.
Mounts in the cupholder, built in FM transmitter, plug it into the power port at the rear of the console.
Great access to your IPOD and it keeps it charged !

You can get iPod/iPhone chargers that also offer an AUX output, and the audio quality via AUX is far superior to any FM transmitter. The AUX input does not disable the CD changer on the G-Class.

 

Only thing I can go by is the addresses the Command software assigns to the inputs, at least until 2008 D2B fiber systems.

The aux input typically takes the 190 address of the cd changer...

But what do I know !!!



The 3 digit numbers shown are: -

1C8 COMAND

108 Digital BOSE AMP

190 CD Changer

0F0 Phone

0F1 CTEL2 (e.g. 2nd phone in S class)

1F8 Voice Recognition

1B0 Satellite Radio Module (USA)

0E0 Teleaid Control Module (USA)

 

Ok, so can anyone confirm which model would work for a 2005 G55 that would charge the iPod and keep CD changer in tact?

thanks,

Shannon

 

Icarplay wireless will work perfectly for g55 2006, I have the same model and have tried it. It works well with my system, hope to have the same thing with you.

 

I bought the AUX cable from fourbyfour, connected to appropriate socket behind command (painful process though not to scratch or mess up anything), got it through the ash tray and it works fine with CD changer, but yes it doesn't charge it.

 

can anyone confirm the below concerning ipod kit for a 2007 G55:
Your vehicle has comand NTG2.

The Mercedes NTG2 ipod kit will work with your car. You can see this kit here;

We have the iTronic Audio (ipod/aux) kits for the 2006 G Class

 

Just installed mine today. Now I can retire my one CD that's been playing for the last 2 1/2 years.....

Kicking myself in the butt though for not being more careful while holding the command in place to do the wiring. The bottom of the command module scratched the leather on the shifter. Oh well.....

 

I charge mine thru a kit that offers 2 USB slots and fits snuggly in one of the 12v outlets (one cigar in dash, others between the seats). I forget who makes it but it comes with a 120v 2 USB slot adaptor as well. All the big superstores with an electronics center carry them. One just needs the specific USB cable for the device. I use the AUX wire to play tunes into the headphone jack.One can buy an extension cable for that if you are using an iPAD.

Usually I charge it at home.
