So you already had phone pre-wire and just needed the bluetooth adapter.

The bluetooth in your car is for phone only. Only the latest units support bluetooth audio streaming.

Yes, the car had a phone kit installed. The dealer just sprung for the cradle in the centre console.

Are you certain this won't work then? Even if I can't control the ipod via the command system, I thought I could at least "pair" it with the phone system and just use the iPod itself for control over music?

Hmm.

After the socket is fitted it will need STAR to activate it or it can be activated on STAR before its fitted. It will then appear on the Audio list
You local MB dealer will know the part number and want to use their own, you just ask for the AUX in retro fit kit.

You will need to show the guys how the comand comes out or I could send the papers on it

Thanks so much again for this pointer. My local MB dealer has sourced the part and a local car audio guy has said he can fit it for £40. Nice!

Seems a decent guy and been going for 20 years.

Could I please take you up on your generous offer for those instruction papers on how to remove the comand?

my email is tomrosssearch@hotmail.co.uk

Thanks again guys. Something tells me this forum is going to prove very useful during ownership of my first benz!! :)

Please note to remove the cup holder take out the rubber bungs front and screws underneath.

The metal clip holding the fascia on is attached to the front panel and it needs a spanner to lever it down.

The cover has to come off the plug to insert the wires
