That’s a possibility. Hadn’t thought about that. -D > On Feb 5, 2021, at 3:30 AM, Jim Cathey wrote: > >> What has always amazed me is that the sound quality from this playing >> through a Becker that has a factory (Becker) auxiliary input upgrade is so >> much better than the aux input. ??? >

Again, the only real drawback is having to charge the adapter occasionally. When I used mine daily, roughly 60 minutes a day, it would run for a week and a half or longer on a charge. -D > On Feb 4, 2021, at 7:53 PM, Dan Penoff via Mercedes > wrote: > > This just shows our good taste, as min

Thanks guys, I'll take a look. SWMBO's '96 Infiniti has original radio, and this type of adapter (if it works) would add exactly what we want and keep the simple buttons / dials / display that operate the radio. - Max Charleston SC On Thu, Feb 4, 2021 at 7:54 PM Dan Penoff via Merced

This just shows our good taste, as mine is the same one. What has always amazed me is that the sound quality from this playing through a Becker that has a factory (Becker) auxiliary input upgrade is so much better than the aux input. ??? Maybe Jaime would know why? -D > On Feb 4, 2021, at 3:4

I’ll have to look and see - I’ll post the details later. Surprisingly, it has a little microphone on it that can be detached (it has a tiny little cable) and used for hands free phone use. I’ve never tried it, but have no reason to assume it doesn’t work. -D > On Feb 4, 2021, at 3:01 PM, Max D

I use a cassette adapter that’s rechargeable that does Bluetooth. Amazingly, it sounds better that the auxiliary input that’s on the radio in my S210 wagon. I don’t know why. It was under $20 and will last a couple of weeks on a single charge. The only negative is having to charge it. -D > On

You can get a Bluetooth (or Aux) to FM adapter so that you can tune the car radio to an unused frequency and play music from the device. They are maybe $20. Allan Buggered Benzmail via Mercedes writes: > I have been trying to figure out how to get tunes to play through the > sound system in th

I have been trying to figure out how to get tunes to play through the sound system in the 211 05E320 wagon and the 163 05ML500. The wagon has some sort of aftermarket Bluetooth unit that does not seem to work. Something similar looks to be About $200. Research suggested the wagon might have an
