W163 radio wire layout?

I hooked up the pioneer flip down TV on the roof, but I need help figuring out the color code wires on the MCS... can someone help me out?

Thanks,

Are you looking to connect it through the FM radio antenna or something similar?

Because the CD Changer and external audio inputs like that all run on MB's audio system, which is fiber-optic as of a few years ago. (either 2000 or 2001 model year - can't remember)

And there is no normal auxiliary input for audio like there is in the COMAND system.

So by which method are you planning to have the audio come in through?

no i'm trying to wire out what color wires are for:

12+ volt & accessory

I'll be running audio through a FM modulator. But I don't want to do something dumb without getting your ideas.

Thanks

Ah ok - I thought you were asking for audio wiring info.

I'll try to find the wire setup if I have some time - maybe someone else has it handy?

Try this

Take a look here: MCS PIN OUT
(Wolfgang came up with this pinout for his 2001 MCS. On Ken K. Yee's web site)
Here is a OEM Video Entertainment System
