Auxiliary audio source
Connecting an auxiliary audio source
We recommend that any auxiliary audio unit be
installed and connected by a Mercedes-Benz Center.
The auxiliary audio source (e.g. CD changer) will be
installed in the glove compartment of your vehicle and
connected to the socket available for this purpose. You
will require a separate connecting cable for this.
Refer to the separate operating instructions for infor-
mation on how to operate the auxiliary audio source
(e.g. CD changer).
Notes:
Traffic radio announcements and voice output during
route guidance can also be heard while the auxiliary
audio source is switched on.
The telephone can be used while the auxiliary audio
source is in operation.Switching on auxiliary audio source on/off
Turn the right-hand rotary/pushbutton
to highlight
the “Aux” menu field in the main System settings menu
and press to confirm.
