My '03 S500 had a plug in the glovebox for an external audio source... and AUX mode was selectable via the service menu.

My '05 S600 has a plastic dummy plug in place of the audio jack in the glove box and no mention of AUX anywhere in COMAND...

Ideas?

 

Get another 2003?

Seriously, when the 2004s moved from D2B to MOST, the new S-class COMANDs lost the AUX input. You'd have to go to an aftermarket solution; there's no simple way to just add an input to the COMAND.

 

That's crazy!

Does anyone know of any aftermarket solutions to this?

 

well you can get an FM transmitter...

I was so used to the AUX-IN too from my last Benz.

 

Is there a Aux Audio input someplace on my 2002 S600 ? In the glovebox?

 

never used aux input jack inside our glove box that we will regretfully let go in trade if you act fast.the aux jack comes attached to a 2003 S500 sport in flawless condition.hurry before we change our minds and ask for additional cash for the fact that the aux jack has never been used.

 

Yes. https://mbworld.org/forums/showthrea...88#post2234888

 

does that mean 2006 models don't have AUX either in the glovebox?

 

The ONLY W220 with an AUX input was the '03.

 

It is true that the only the 2003 has the AUX jack input. I use mined to play my iPOD via the command center. However, the only steering wheel controls that works with the ipod is the volume and the songs don't display on the nav screen. Other than that the sound is good.. However, there is nothing to charge the ipod and once the car cuts off the ipod is still running.

 

I use a cassette tape adapter for now

 

holy crap! i didn't even know my car had that feature! this is the best thread ever! i was just about to spend a bunch of money for nav tv and now i don't have to!

 

Hey nice ride, can you tell me the name/brand of the rims??

Any shop that deals with Mackin Industries can get them for you. I have a friend in Japan who also sends them out.

How much did they run you, if you don't mind me asking??

 

Hey bro i read your thread about your 03 s500 i am having trouble finding the aux button on my s55 2003 i know where the jack is however i cant find out how to put the nav in aux mode

 

The instructions are on page 200 of your COMAND manual. If you don't have one, you can download it at http://home.earthlink.net/~phdwebsite/comand_manual.htm.

 

To use the AUX input: Push the SVC button, go into system settings, and select aux input. Plug your MP3/iPod into the aux jack and start up your music using the MP3/iPod controls. Your volume can be controlled by the steering wheel +/- buttons as well a the volume control of your MP3/iPod player. The sound quality is much better than any cassette adapter or FM transmitter that I have used in my other cars.

To exit, just push the CD or radio (AM/FM) buttons.

 

Really miss having this feature... I tried several FM transmitters and they are absolutely terrible...

 

These do not work on the US-spec comand systems then, i assume? They are very common on ebay at the equivalent of around US$160. You could surely get them to work with a Euro flash of the comand if it came to it?

 

Are you sure the 2004s didn't also have one? I remember seeing one in a friend's 2004 W220.

 

None of the U.S. specification DVD-based COMANDS for the W220 have an AUX input. Euro spec units do. Some W220s have had the cutout in the glove compartment, but it is covered by a plastic insert with no input behind it.

 

Where exactly is the aux outlet for the 2003 s55?
