Hi all! I know this is a die hard mercedes forum. but there are so many knowledgeble members here i thought i might get lucky and find my answer here.

I have a 2003 RX300 with the standard 6 disc cd changer sound system. I'm thinking of adding a RF/ radio modulated MP3 changer so i can listen to mp3 songs easily.

Does anyone has any experience opening up the console? Or knows where to look for 12V power feeds ? i'm thinking about bolting down the new changer right under the front passenger's glove compartment, but that space has a very sponge material that seems to act as a cushion for passenger's feets. I'm not sure if i'll be able to secure the changer at the location.

Any suggestions are welcome.

TIA!

that location is a bad idea, it will hurt the passenger if you get into an accident, I'd suggest getting an ipod and hooking it up with a car kit....

Finally opened up the center console and pulled out the radio. All cables and connections are done except the ignition and the constant 12v. Still wondering which color wire they might be.

btw, i found tons of available space behind the center console pod, so i hid the rf modulator out of sight and out of worries.

anyone has experience with a late model rx300? still need to know where to connect the pwr wires. I'm thinking of using the cigarette lighter wire as the ignition pwr, but i'm not sure which of the two wires is the pwr. There's a black/white wire and a pink solid wire going into the light module. Could the pink one be the ignition 12v i need?

Any suggestions are welcome.
