I have modified my ashtray it now has a (one) USB (extension) connecting for my Mr 12 Volt unit that has been installed at the previous CD changer location in addition there is combination digital volt meter with (2) aux-phone charge ports.



I also have completed the magnetic mounts for a portable DVR and mobile phone. The DVR has a 100GB HD that can play its music content (complete music library travels with me when driving) through the aux-port of the Mr 12 unit back to the original FO sound system. I can connect the DVR to my home PC and structure file folders any way I want them for eaxmple > Songs A-Z - Artist A-Z - Genre A-Z - Favorites etc.



The flash drives will play folders 1-5 with 6 songs per folder I use them to quickly load a new song I like which I not heard before before uploading them to the DVR - The USB titles show on the MB command screen.



All functions of the original system work > steering wheel buttons - music mute when the moblie phone is in use etc.



Hereby some pictures of the install

All USA cars are ordered with option 301, Smoker Package. Obviously since this is an option, there are other parts for the cars without the option. You can see them in EPC and they can be ordered from USA dealers. Generally there is an ISO 4165 socket and some sort of trinket tray..
