does the stock stereo have some sort of auxiliary port? I am hoping so so i can hook up my android and pump up the jam...

 

No, but you can mod the tape deck, I have only seen it done on a benz.
AUX in on W203 radio modification complete! - MBWorld.org Forums
Picasa Web Albums - Eric Long - Mercedes Radi...

cant be that hard though

 

You can use a cassette adapter. Also, you can go to Crutchfield's website and order an adapter.

 

But that is no fun

 

well the reason i'm looking for an aux port is because I have tried a tape adapter in the past, and what a came up with was if i turned the stereo full blast, and my mp3 player full blast i could kind of make out which song was playing quietly in the background. this being the age of the CD I don't have a separate tape to test my stereo with. So I don't know if it is:

1. A problem with my tape deck (wife's car does not have a tape deck)
2. A problem with my tape adapter (I don't have a second one)
3. a problem with the connection between the tape adapter and my mp3 player (i've seen issues with jacks just not fitting properly and having strange echos and such)

thanks for the link about the merc aux port mod. seems like something worth looking into

 

For my S70y2k I buy the usb player(USB / SD Card / AUX ) that can control by original player and sound is better like CD Changer.

I have never seen one of those, how does it read it? Will it work with the standard SC-816 stereo?

 

Yes,My car use standard SC-816 stereo just only plug to CD-Changer port.

 

where do you get those bad boys? and who makes them?

 

That thing looks awsome but I bet it will cost more than a nice new stereo.

The stereo in my wagon has a remote. When I seen that I thought, this is stupid. Now I love it.

 

I get it from the forum cost 83 Dollar and my car was the first test for s70 model.

 

haven't really thought about my stereo lately been riding my bike. but now that the temperature is dipping below freezing it's time to migrate back to the car...

anyone tried this? (although i would modify the directions to put a female 3.5mm jack on the front of the unit instead of running a hardwired cable all the way out.

looks pretty easy and it essentially taps directly into the tape unit's output.

Heck, I have 2 head units that I can try this with.

 

you haven't by any chance tried this out yet have you? :-D
