I setup the AUX input in my '05 for connecting directly to my ipod. The sound is great, much much better than those poor quality FM Transmitter :v I think it is worth to post the instruction and some pictures here. The installation is very simple, everything is pre-wired. It took me less than an hour to complete. Thanks to cc4469 and JeT, this would not be possible without their information
1. You have to get the cable harness (A 203 540 61 07) from a MB dealer. I paid US$44 from a dealer here in Northern CA.
2. Remove the right front door sill, the A-pillar, and locate the pre-wired connector.
3. There is a little faint circle inside the glove compartment. Push it with pressure, it can be pop out easily.
4. The hole is for fitting the AUX-plug of the cable harness.
5. Remove the plastic cover on the right outside the glove compartment.
6. Put the AUX-plug into the hole and wire the cable as shown in the pictures.
7. Wire the cable on the wall below the glove compartment and connect it to the pre-wired connector.
8. Active the AUX Input (by passing the CDC button for couple of second), connect the AUX-Plug and test it with your ipod or some audio input.
9. If it works, put everything back together and you are done!
10. You may now want to control the ipod using a wireless remote. So, you can select the music freely inside the car
I hope this instruction is useful for you. My next project will be a bluetooth audio transmitter/receiver for my cell phone/ipod to connect to the audio system
