Hello,

My used 2008 B Class came with an iPod connector and a Bluetooth phone connection already installed. The problem is that all of my music is on my Android phone and I can't seem to connect it all.
My Audio 20 manual says that I can connect it as and AUX device via the 3.5mm jack in the glove compartment and then press the CDC button for more than 2 seconds. When I do this I just get an meesage on the centre console says the the iPod is Not Connected - it looks like the iPod connector is taking up the AUX connection.
Has anyone found a way areoud this - I don't want to have to buy an Apple device, but I'm prepared to de-install the iPod connection if that's possible without an expensive vist to an MB dealer.

Thanks for reading this and hoepfully someone as equally frustrated out there has found a way around this,

Regards
Colin

Yes the ipod interface is using the AUX.

Ive seen the tune2Air which adds a bluetooth connection to the ipod kit, work with android phones.
