2015 GLK 350 Aux Input & ECO
I just bought a 2015 GLK and the build sheet says I have an aux input jack. I found the USB port (inside the console compartment) but can't find the aux input jack. I have an MP3 I want to hook-up.
Also, is there a way to permanently disconnect the ECO system?
Thanks for any help you can provide.

re:eco Are you asking to permanently disable it? I'm sure that you know the you can shut it off by pressing the 2 console buttons but need to do each time you start. I'm not sure if an indy MB repair can set the default to off.

cable should have come with car..If you bought car new, go back to dealer....or buy one. Will work fine once you have the cable.

Midcity has dealers even up in this remote corner of the US, so I suspect you could find one in Florida. Their web site has a dealer locator.
My warrantee is up in several months and I will probably take it to the local Midcity dealer and have this done.
If you felt like taking the dash apart, you could just add a time delay relay to simulate input from the console switch a couple seconds after start so that it would turn off the ECO automatically. I suspect that's all Midcity is doing.

My wife bought a used 2015 GLK350 and there were no cables and the salesman said that if I bought a IPOD cable it would not work. Well, he was wrong. I bought the Mercedes IPOD cable off Ebay and hooked it up in the center console and it works great. So if you can't get a cable to work with your MP3, then buy a used IPOD and a used IPOD cable. Works great.
Also, not sure about permanently disabling the ECO, but you can hit the button and turn it off.
EDIT: I just read about the STOP/START ECO Feature and I guess it's one of those annoying features that you have to turn off every time you start the car. Kind of like the C300 we had that always started up in C mode when I wanted S. Why does Mercedes do this? I'm betting they have to meet Government mileage requirements.
