<div class="bbWrapper">I just bought a 2010 C63 and just wanted to learn if there was any simple mod to allow music on my spotify android phone to be played through Command and the cars speakers. Anyone know how it's possible in my W204?<br /> <br /> ... Simply connecting bluetooth doesn't work for spotify. I can see an Aux setting on the cars sound settings, but can't see and cable connecting point in the car.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">Aux connection is usually in the glovebox.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">i only got bluetooth for mobile phone calls, I got a little device off ebay that goes into the fag light in the glovebox then into the aux, set the car in AUX mode , then your phone connects to the device and plays bluetooth though your AUX hope this helps =D</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">Thanks guys, I can't see any Aux plug in the armrest. It's a Sept 2010 C class, maybe its somewhere else, or perhaps was an option that year ?<br /> <br /> Any poss alternate locations for the Aux jacking point?</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">I have one in my glove box</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">Take a look in the glovebox for an Aux socket.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">Mine is a 2012 and the aux socket is in the center arm rest, my Spotify plays fine via Bluetooth. Have you checked in your settings that Spotify is allowed to gain access? Sounds a bit daft</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">I think the 'aux' port is in fact Universal Media Interface (UMI) which is an option.<br /> <br /> Also to the OP, if your 2010 car is pre-facelift it will have COMAND NTG4 (with the pop-up display, and the large PCMCIA slot), if it's post-facelift it will have COMAND NTG4.5 Gen1 (with the display in the instrument cluster, and smaller SD-Card slot). These are two very different systems.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">It's the pop up screen version Markjay, I figured as much. Is there any simple workaround to get the songs to play on cars speakers ?</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">In my 2010 C200, Bluetooth streaming worked by playing the music on the phone and selecting Aux on the cars media menu<br /> <br /> When/if you get it working, still be prepared for low volume. You can surpass this fortunately (having an android phone) by using a booster app on your phone</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">Thanks, I will check again and report back</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">No aux in armrest or glovebox unfortunately. Prob need to retrofit aux as cheapest option me thinks for about £250</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">I have the ngt 4, and strangely enough, no aux socket in the glovebox. I do however have the lead that plugs into the iPod classic, and can play music through that or put in a pmcia card.<br /> Not yet transferred any music onto the built in hard drive.</div>

It has a battery, so when you turn the car off and walk away the Bluetooth stays connected and playing till you’re out of range. Then once it looses connection you have to manually reconnect again next time you drive. So I’d go for one without a battery to be honest. But anyway this is what I have<br /> <br /> <a href="https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F401719628061" target="_blank" class="link link--external" rel="nofollow ugc noopener">Mpow Car Receiver Bluetooth 5.0 Wireless Audio Stereo Music kits AUX Adapter MIC | eBay</a></div>
