SLK/R171: SLK R171 Ipod Audio20 Integration
#1
![Question](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif)
First of all apologize because maybe this topic is answered in another one topic in this forum, but I can not find it.
I have a SLK R171 with Audio 20 (this Audio20 has not AUX) and IPOD 60GB (5th Generation).
- What's the best way to connect it to the sound system without a FM-Transistor?
- Can it be controlled directly with the steering wheel?
Thank you very much in advance.

I have had luck here in Bangkok with the Belkin Tune Base and the Monster I-CarPlay. But you can't control it via the steering wheel.

Are you sure the connector works in Audio 20 on the SLK?? According to this doc it does not???? Has anyone actually done it?

Bangkok has a lot of FM stations and I am not sure of their wattage. This might have something to do with it.
But, the thing worked well in the garage....which only says that there is nothing in the wiring or non-wiring to prevent the thing working in a SLK fitted with the Audio 20.
However, I doubt it will get much use in our SLK.

I dont know why people think the AUDIO 20 can operate an iPOD in the SLK but I keep hearing about it and I never see it being possible.
ITs COMAND or its nothing. Those transmitter things are average.
