Hi All,

I've moved almost exclusively to listening to MP3 or XM satellite radio via the AUX input on my 2003 SL 500 R230. Works great and almost OEM except for the power I have to run out of the glove box to the lighter.

I'd like to pipe power into the glove box. I think simply installing a DC cigar/accessory lighter right next to the AUX input will be great. Since I'm using exclusively with audio accessories, I want to power using the COMAND antenna motor power.

So, here's my short laundry list of things I want to know before I tackle this problem:

1. COMAND wire out diagram.
2. Removal instructions for Glove Box and COMAND.

I'd also appreciate any other ideas you might have.

Thanks!

Well, I have made some progress, I think. I found a COMAND installation bulletin on Paul's MB Info Website, though it's not R230 specific, I presume I have the right pinouts. Now, I just need to figure out how to disassemble the dash....
