Where is the Aux input in this thing?!
Hey Guys,
Newb over here, so forgive the ignorant question,
but i assume my 2012 ml350 has an auxiliary input,
however i cant seem to find it.
In the center i only see a usb input and another type of input.
Where is the aux input?
I want to play my music through my iphone 5.
I already connect my blackberry through the bluetooth system.
In anycase i want to use the aux

This:

implies that perhaps W166 has no aux input pre-wired.
In the E-Class, it is in the glove compartment.
edit: manual says "You can connect an external audio source (AUX) to COMAND Online. You will find the socket in the centre console stowage compartment."

There should be a set of three cables to connect up various devices including the i-pod. They do plug into the centre console. The cables could be in the glovebox, but may be in the spare tyre compartment.

Find your cable that plugs into the "another type of input" port - it's a pigtail connector that has both iPhone as well as regular AUX (headphone) inputs on it.
If you didn't get one with your ML, then yell at your local dealer!

I got 3 cables for my ML and I know 1 of them is for iPhone. I have not use the other 2 yet.
The ML can also connect up to 5 BT devices too but I am not sure it means it's 5 devices at one time or only 1 at a time.

The "other" connector is the aux connection that requires either the "double-end cable/30 pin iPhone+aux) or single-end cable (30 pin iPhone) for iPhone 5 you will need a Lingthnign adapter to go from 30 pin iPhone connecotr to your iPhone 5 Lightning connector.
That "hard wire" connection is much-much better quality and less battery draining than trying to stream BlueTooth audio
Keep the beat !
