Mercedes-Benz vehicles equipped with the COMAND navigation multimedia system feature a PCMCIA card slot. With an additional PCMCIA adapter, you can insert any memory card to play MP3 music from your computer. This allows you to store several gigabytes of music on a memory card rather than dealing with multiple CDs. The music is then played through the COMAND audio menu.
Purchase a PCMCIA adapter card. Depending on the type of memory cards you have or want to use, you have several options. You can get a Compact Flash PCMCIA adapter card, SD adapter card or even a 6-in-1 adapter that adapts multiple types of flash media.
Insert your flash memory card into your computer. You may need an adapter slot for your computer if you do not already have one.
Copy and paste your music files from your computer onto the memory card. Organize them into folders by artist, album or genre so you can quickly find them on your Mercedes. Your Mercedes can play MP3, AAC and WMA audio files.
