W164 IPhone lead

[Wacko74]

OK experts it's help time again
I've got the lead in the glovebox to connect an iPhone/pod to but it's the old style not the lightning connection
I have tried to connect my iPhone7 using an adapter but I get nothing

How do I set it to read the phone

Hi is there any other connection in the centre console

 

[Wacko74]

No just the lead in the glovebox

Give the guys at Command Online a shout, they'll know if it can be done.

It may be too modern to work, I use an old 160GB Ipod Classic, which I just leave in the glove box.

Nah, the 30 pin type before they introduced the lightning one.

 

[Wacko74]

No it's the multi pin one that clips in

Was the 30-pin to lightning adaptor a genuine Apple adaptor? I recall that Mercedes state that you must use a genuine adaptor.

I'm not sure if it's genuine apple, I will have to check
I think I may have an old iPod touch somewhere so I will try that
