Hi guys

My wife's 2008 CLC180 has a 30 pin iPod connector in the glove box and a 'frame' to hold an iPod. The connector seems to fit Gen 4 iPods. Does anyone know if you fit a 30pin to modern adaptor will the latest iPods then work thru the steering wheel controls in Comand? You can also get a 30 pin to USB adaptor - will this then work with a USB music player?

Second question: the car does not have a headlamp height adjuster next to the switch on the dash. Is that because it has bi-xenon headlamps?

Thanks

In answer to your iPod question - “probably”. Ask the guys at Comandonline (give them your VIN) and they will tell you what is available. You may need a special cable like this one but, do ask them first before spending a lot of money.

Sorry, can’t help with the headlight question but it’s sounds a fair assumption.
