2012 GLK 350 IPhone Question

I have a 2012 GLK 350. in the center counsel I have the MB interface plug and no auxiliary audio input. I have all 3 Mercedes OEM cables lighting, usb, and the older apple plug. I cannot seem to get any of them to connect with my iPhone or IPod to play music. Am I missing something? If I purchase the Bovee Bluetooth plug-in, will that work? In my 2013 GLK I added the apple car play and it works great abut I wasn’t wanting to spend that on this one. Any ideas? There is not auxiliary (headphone) jack anywhere that I can find. Thanks for any help.

My 2014 will play the XM ap through the aux setting on the radio over bluetooth. I don't use it, so I don't remember exactly how I got it to work, but it was easy.

How do you know they are oem cables , I bought extra cables once on eBay that did not work , they were actually just missing pins.

There is no such thing, on any GLK, as a headphone jack (unless you have the Rear Seat Entertainment System). If it has an Aux jack it is an Input and not an Output.

I tried it again last night. I started the XM ap on the phone and pressed the CD button on the radio twice (I think) and it allowed me to connect the phone. The phone was already paired for phone use.
