No MMI port on W221

As title says, in the glovebox compartment there's the RCA input, but not the MMI I believe, is it located somewhere else or I don't have that option? The photo is not mine but it's exactly the same how it is on my car. Thanks for any help.

isn't MMI a VAG name ?

either way the strange proprietary plug you are referring to allowing various cables to give a more interesting set of Aux in connections came with a later facelift.... they got a newer less reliable version of the comand system moving from the 2005 NTG3.0, with the later (2010 model year) cars coming out late 2009 with a NTG3.5 unit (which is really an early NTG4.0 as used on E classes)

So basically I don't have it, I'm trying to get Bluetooth working into it, but I don't want millions of cables running across my car

some high-end early cars got bluetooth (mine has it) but it was NEVER for what a normal person would ever want - so you can link a phone and try for all you life, even update the telematics ring, but you will never make a successful call using this early BT connection

it was only to allow a second option on LWB cars that get a bluetooth handset in the back to talk to a clipped in phone up front - thus your bodyguard can't hear you making the call to kill his mates working for the other company

very low spec cars don't have the dial pad behind the comand knob - if this opens to show a phone pad you should have a UHI socket in the center console chubby hole - this allows Merc or aftermarket toys to clip in and turn the UHI into a BT phone connection.... BUT the clipped in phone had a good signal (with external antenna) - if you have the funny pink tinged IR reflecting glass option, your signal strength drops 2 to 3 bars

these days we can get music streaming and BT calls and if stupid use spy mapping via modern add-ons like

I've got the same setup. Unless you want to do the option Botus mentioned, which may be a good idea if you want to spend the money, just get a small bluetooth puck off Amazon. My cord runs from the glove box to the puck, sitting in the drink holder. It's not that bad. Turing it on when I get in the car is now routine.
