Merc noobie question re ipod connector

[TheRealDC]

Hi all - recenntly converted (after 15 years of BMW ownership) to my first Merc (CLK280 2007). Very happy with the car, but the iPod integration (factory fitted) seems to have a bad connector, as when I switch to iPod, the volume is low (sometimes the vocals), but if I put light pressure on the connector from above full volume (and vocals) work, so it seems like the connector is worn to the extent that maybe one of the stereo channels isn't working?!?!!

So, can I buy a new cable with said connector and if so, how big a job is it to replace the cable with the iPod connector?



Thanks .. DC

Have you tried a different ipod? You can replace the lead. Comand Online Ltd :: Mercedes iPod solutions :: Mercedes New iPod charging lead for A/B/C/CLK/GL/ML/R/CL/S/E/CLS/SLK

The lead just plugs in but you will need access to the module it plugs into which i think is behind the glovebox. Link below will have a retrofit guide so will have instructions on how to get to it.

W209 CLK
