Aux input for MP3 player

Hi I've just got a 2008 C220 Estate and want to use the aux input with my MP3 player. I have found the input jack socket in the glove compartment but when I plug the MP3 player into this, nothing happens. I cannot find how to switch the audio 20 system into 'aux mode'. The manual says that if you press 'disc' i.e. for CD playback, you get AUX as an option, however this doesn't happen and the CD just plays.
I have seen some posts on forums which state that if you hold down the 'disc' button, AUX is offered as an option on the menu, but this doesn't seen to happen either.
Any help appreciated

    The aux and the usb port do not work either. It seems as if the entire system is dead.

I'am an M.B. tech- I do not beleive that this radio is mp3 compatable- iknow that the input you are refering to is used for ipod use. It very well could be that the head unit has to be programed(basically informed0 for an mp3- i would call the service dept. and ask to talk to ther best audio tech savay mechanic. Most likley the service writer wouldn.t know or give you false information because they do not stay on top of all the little tecnical changes. This fiber optic system has many programing features- most have to be done with as sds laptop(dealer software only) good luck

How do I get the MP3 player to work in a 2007 Nissan Quest?

you said CAN , i bet you meant CAN'T or CAN NOT. right?
the AUX port is just a line input, analog audio input,
it dont know MP3 .
it only amplies the analog audio found there.
you connect any device, to AUX. push play on the device.
then put car radio in to AUX input mode and play. the audio.
that is all there is to it.
the external device does all the heavy lifting, reading a file, and decoding it (mp3 decode) and then sends raw analog audio out.

the cable is sold and radioshack, or walfart or many other stores,
Target, most MP3 players, come with this cable,
they use mini phone plugs, stereo, type,. (3 contacts)

Honda Accord - AUX Connectivity/Supports

The AUX cables are just an input to the stereo, and it doesn't matter what format your music player uses. If you do need to change the cables to accept a different mp3 player, all of this is usually done in the wiring on the back of the stereo. hope this helps you.

No sound from turntable

1 ensure your reciever is also set to AUX .
2 try another AUX device such as an MP3 player or CD player and check that your Receiver AUX function is working.
2. connect your Turntable to another input such as DVD, CD, or Tape to see if it works at that position.
ensure that the correct button is selected for which ever position you use.

Same here with 2008 CRV

MP3s are a different format from a regular CD. You can use an MP3 player through the AUX jack, but not a CD with MP3s on it.

How do I connect an mp3 to my 2008 sonata?

The 2008 Sonata does not come equipped to plug in a separate MP3 player. The MP3 on the face of the radio/CD player refers to the fact that the CD player will play MP3 files. If you want to play from a separate player, you will have to add an FM modulator or something similar.
