Go search on the W203 forums about adding "Aux IN" - you should be able to do it yourself for less than $30usd.

Changer is connected via MOST fiber, so it's not like you can easily plug your iPod in it's place, but there are a number of companies that make kits to do this - search for Dension GW500 if you want to go that route.

For my 2006 ML, to get the MB ipod kit to display on the instrument panel, and the steering wheel buttons to control it, you need to have the telephone menus activated by the dealer.

I had a phone with the menus already working, so I just plugged an MB ipod kit I got off ebay ($170) and it worked perfectly.

If you don't need control, then just the aux in wire will do.

If you want to be able to see all the tracks and menus on the comand system, then you need to get a non MB ipod kit.

It really depends on what your needs are, and how much you want to spend.

Does anyone know the name of a manufacturer who makes a simple aux in adaptor? I don't want to pay $650 for a dension.

youbecha,

where would i find this? I have navigation and I'd like to find a way to connect the ipod so that track info shows on the command system rather than the mph area near the steering wheel.
