Hi, I have a 2011 W212 with the audio 50 APS and media interface fitted. When I press the 'disc' button, the display shows CD, Media interface and AUX as inputs. I know what the CD and Media interfaces are, but what is the AUX one? Is there another socket I have not found? What can I plug into it when or if I find it? Like I said, a newbie question but hope you can help.
Thanks.

As AUX comes up in the display the socket will be in the glove box in the side.

With media interface the AUX is accessed via a cable that plugs into the media interface. There isnt a separate AUX input socket.

Finally the answer I've been waiting for:

Follow up question on my Audio 50 APS Disc-Media - I have 3 options:
1. CD Audio
2. Media Not Available'
3. Aux

The MMI is linked to my Android 3.5mm through and ;MMI-Aux adapter - should I be using the MMI or Aux option?

TIA

I have my iPod connected to my Aux on my 212.

Thanks for your help - I also live in Sweden :)

I'm getting a message saying 'Media ej tillgänäig'. (media not available) whether I have an adapter in or not. Another forum suggested that I should have swapped two orange wires from the old harness to the new. This kinda of makes sense since I didn't have the MMI error message before.

Any views?

Tak så myket

use the Aux option, when I had my W212 I had a selection of old adaptors that plugged into the media connector in the glove box, there are some available on ebay.
