'04 SL55 Comand - MP3 question

I am planning on driving my new to me '04 SL55 across the country to get it home and am wondering what options I have for hooking up an iPod/iPhone or playing MP3 files. Is there anyway to do this with a stock '04 Comand unit?

The COMAND unit has an auxiliary input source that is wired to a 3.5mm female audio jack in the glovebox.

Thanks. Any idea if that audio jack is compatible with an iPhone 6? I ask because the audio input in my '11 GL350 wont play from the headphone jack on my phone.

It will work just fine. As for your gl, do you have the rear entertainment package? If so there's a easy way to get your music to play.

OK great news. I bought a Bluetooth receiver for the aux jack so I can stream tunes to the stereo.

I do have the rear entertainment in the GL - how do I make that work?

Go to bestbuy and pick up a rca to aux cable and plug the red and white rca ends into the dvd player in the back. Depending what side you plug into will depend on what screen you have to cut on but for example I have mine plugged into the dvd player and cut the passenger screen on and on the command you turn the source to aux then play everything from your phone or ipod or what ever.
