WordSmith Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Does this vehicle have an AUX input? I have heard of a glovebox, but I am unable to locate one. I have been informed that the TV module is there, but unfortunately, that feature is not accessible on my vehicle. Does the AUX input exist anywhere, please?

CyberNinja Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 I have a similar inquiry with my 350SL of comparable age. Have you had any success? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt865 Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 I believe that the auxiliary connector was removed in R230 SL models from 2004. Contact Commandonline.co.uk to get the most optimal choice for retrofitting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WordSmith Posted March 28 Author Share Posted March 28 Regrettably, I was unable to locate one and ultimately relinquished my efforts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvlenci Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 My glove box is located on the right side, however it is a 2003 model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WordSmith Posted March 28 Author Share Posted March 28 I will conduct an investigation and provide a report. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paqngo Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 The presence of the aux socket in the glove box of my 2006 R230 SL500 was not evident. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drummer Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 The type I own is a pre-facelift, without a socket in the glovebox. However, it is important to note that there is no auxiliary option available on the radio controls. I am unable to connect my DAB adaptor. The only alternative is to replace the radio itself, which exceeds my financial means. Thank you for your responses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvlenci Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 An alternative approach involves connecting a Bluetooth transmitter to the cigarette lighter socket and adjusting the radio frequency to match the device's frequency. This allows for the streaming of music from a Bluetooth device, such as a digital player or mobile phone, for a cost of less than £20.

Howard_silver Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 The R230SL... The first generation, spanning from the commencement to the conclusion of the Model Year (MY) 2004, included the Comand 2.0DX, which featured an AUX socket. Conversely, the SL350, as the default, featured the Audio-30, which lacked an AUX input. From MY2005 to 2008, the second generation of the Comand NTG1 (Siemens version) lacked the AUX capabilities. The MY2009 end of the third generation is equipped with COMAND NTG2.5 and has an AUX socket. Sir, yours is the second generation. The sole solution is the use of a costly Dension adaptor, which serves as a substitute for the CDC changer and offers features such as AUX and Bluetooth Audio, contingent upon the specific version. Alternatively, an FM transmitter that may be tuned into via radio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
