Hi All
Does anyone have, or know anyone around Derby/Nottingham who has a star system and can activate my w221 NTG3 Aux port.

I have tried the usual local independent specialists, one said they are not sure if they can do it and the other never bothered to call back.

I did get offered a place in Luton but was hoping to find someone a little closer.

Happy to pay.

Thanks
Chris
 
Worth giving these guys a call if you need to stay local. They do car hifi upgrades and so may be able to help.

Hi
I've had a look at their website, they are VAG specialist, so I doubt they have Star
 
My go-to is MB Automotive in Loughborough. They seem pretty knowledgeable and know their limits so won't try to bodge something they are not sure about.

They are the first I called, said they would call back and never did.
From what I understand, it's not a hard job
 
Well, I got a call back from MB Centre in Nottingham, still not heard from MB Automotive Loughborough.

They told me their technician claims to activate Aux is a main dealer only task as the main data card at the factory needs to be updated.

Can anyone confirm this, certainly I see videos on YouTube where it is being done by users using their own star.

Thanks
 
Hi All,
For anyone reading this at a later stage, I can confirm that you can activate Aux on the NTG3.0 even though no aux is shown in the menu.

I took the car to MBcoding Ltd in Luton and they activated the aux in about 5 minutes.

For those, like me who wanted this done to fit an android screen, you also don't need to the aux cable and 3 pins to the command connector as the screen comes with the wires already installed.

Once activated and command set to aux the sound from the screen came through the car speakers.

Much better now, car now in the 21st century
