want to use the AUX port but it's a blank... what parts do I need to implement?
I have one of the iPOD cables in the center console, but that really sucks bad...

the ipod interface was installed by the dealership, so it didn't come from factory with the ipod cable... would I just need the aux cable from the glovebox to the back of the COMAND unit?

Search for an ipod adapter DIY install, and just reverse it. Pretty sure it involves no coding

I pulled the bottom of the center console, its a mess under there but everything looks solid... the ipod cable isn't connected under there but the cable runs up past the shifter box

one car at a time
wondering what could be installed wrong, it just cuts in/out and the audio moves left/right - like bad connections

I doubt it is an install error and more likely a defective cable or bad connection. I am assuming you used the proper MB kit ?

it looks a little different than some of the posts I've seen around here...
most i've seen have a black cable that is inline with the ipod plug - this one is white and offset

Toad you got some kind of hack, that is not MB.
I bet you don't have an IPod display in the MFD.
My guess is the pods plug was spliced in to the AUX IN to head unit.

and yup - that's the masterful install I've been checking
I agree, he was never happy with it - but I don't think he and the service guy who installed it didn't get along so he didn't persue getting it reworked (sold it to me before he could redo it)

E55 w/ goods, Z32 Project underway
When I installed my iphone adapter, I spliced back the aux port in the glove box as my Galaxy III just sounds better vs my 4S and the iPhone adapter itself is not very fluid and the sound is horrible. I just do not feed both signals simultaneously. I now have a ipod on the iPhone adapter and use it for quick trips, but for long trips I use the aux port. If you have the iPhone adapter from MB then you can splice in an aux port.
