R129 Factory Stereo and IPOD

[waterpeace66]

Hi there. I am new to the forum and had some questions regarding my '99 SL500 Factory Stereo.

1. Where can I get a set of Stereo keys to be able to pull the radio out of the dash ?
2. Is there a way to play your IPOD through the car factory stereo ?

Thanks.

Ebay for #1

There are some DIY options for #2. One way is to solder an input onto some specific points that basically make the tape option an aux input.

Here's one thread:

You'll want to verify you have the same model radio of course.
