Well like last time he created a fake Craigslist ad offering an IPhone 7 for $425 with my cell number. So petty and immature.

I've been referring them all here instead:

Ha, no screenwriting yet. His ad is getting a lot of traffic! Apparently nobody reads or cares about the ad text. Or they're all super horny gay dudes

Purchase (or try to purchase) at your own risk. There is plenty of evidence on this board and others that shows that the owner of ******* shouldn't be trusted.....or at best he's a very poor businessman with severe mental instability.

Replace the blank with the name of the company.(Profanity filter blocks the company name from appearing on the forum).

Huh? We have told you how to hook up Aux and add Bluetooth. You just don't like the answer.

Here it is again:

You need the 2007-2009 IPod/Aux integration kit, which is out of production and virtually impossible to find. Then the dealer has to program COMAND to recognize the kit and activate Aux In. Then you need a Tune2Air 1000 to receive Bluetooth Audio thru the 30 pin IPod plug from the integration kit.

The first step is to hunt down on EBay the integration kit and cable. If you can find them both expect to pay $400 to $600 for the set. ( They were $700 installed new)

Aside from that, you can stop looking because if another solution existed we'd have found it. It's the most commonly asked question on the board.

Here's a really cool idea. I've tried it in the past and it works great! If there's a feature you absolutely must have, confirm it's available before you buy the car.

LOL!!! Why so bitter? This question has been answered several times on this board....and at least a few times by me. Perhaps you should try a little harder with the search tool.

This board sucks. I've been asking for over a year for a fool-proof ***** enlargement pill and so far nobody has been able to help me!

It's a simple question; "how do I dramatically increase the length and girth of my ***** without spending thousands of dollars on surgery"

Sheesh!

Yep....and one of the cables from that kit is nearly impossible to find. Mid City Engineering offers a solution that they developed to be able to stream music on a car that doesn't already have the iPod cable and "aux" turned on. The only difference with their solution is that you cannot change the songs from your steering wheel or see the song in your gauge cluster. I know that if you live in the Chicago area and can get your car to them for the install, they'll install their kit and turn on aux for $300.

Marc, perhaps if you were a contributor to the board instead of a guy who comes on with one of his first posts and starts complaining that he cannot figure out a solution because he hasn't tried the search function (or used it properly), you'd likely get some friendlier answers.

Dave and Mike,

I'd like to contribute this to your board:

1. Please forgive me for not asking a question that didnt start with NOOB or NEW, or "this may seem like a dumb question" to set the "I'm kissing your ring or bowing to you, tone" so I can get some info. Sorry.. what was I thinking. I failed to recognize the hierarchy of the board.

2. Because you two have been quite detailed in your posts about me, I thought I'd contribute my observations .

- Still nothing conclusive on the procedure to explain to a MB dealer or someone with STAR on how to turn on AUX. Your under the assumption that you can walk in and simply tell the dealer to turn on AUX with STAR? No one here has, far as I can tell, outlined the procedure from a STAR tool to give to the MB dealer if he balks saying "it cant be done".

- Mike your so right: "Here's a really cool idea. I've tried it in the past and it works great! If there's a feature you absolutely must have, confirm it's available before you buy the car" Thank you so much. I mean -- the car was willed to me snowflake. And the ***** thing - okay send nudes.

- Dave: your advice on board protocol - so righteous, so unassuming. thank you.

It would have been better for you if you were willed a Bimmer instead. Your personality would fit right in with some of the guys over at Bimmerboards. Plus, many options on those cars are fairly simple for anybody to program/adjust since the software is readily available for free and simple to code. Benz is fairly locked down. Although back to your question/statement about turning aux on....if you have a fairly knowledgeable service adviser, they should be able to turn on "aux" very easily with STAR. It shouldn't be rocket science for a qualified Benz technician. Is it really that difficult to tell a service adviser that you added the iPod cable to your Benz and need them to turn on the "aux" option?

You're welcome! We love to help people, but so few ever take a moment to say "thanks".

I certainly don't know it all when it comes to these cars. I leave that to guys like Alx and Konigstiger, and even Mike when it comes to all things audio. But it appears that I know more about these cars than you as I've answered your questions and yet you refuse to accept the correct answers. If you don't like my responses, that's fine. But if you ever figure out how to use that pesky search function (it's in the upper right hand corner of your screen), you'll likely find the exact same answers I've given you as your questions have been asked and answered to death on this board.
