Stinger MTAXMBUSB Plug and Play Factory USB Socket Retention Adaptor for 15 Mercedes Models 2004 to 2018

The MTAXMBUSB from Stinger is a plug and play factory USB socket retention adaptor designed for confirmed Mercedes vehicles from 2004 to 2018, allowing the factory USB socket to remain functional after the factory radio has been replaced with an aftermarket head unit. The adaptor connects the factory USB socket wiring to the rear USB input on the aftermarket head unit. The aftermarket head unit must have a rear USB input for this adaptor to function. Note that despite the product title referencing BMW, no BMW vehicles are listed in the confirmed compatibility data. Contact us to confirm BMW fitment before ordering.

Product overview

The MTAXMBUSB provides a plug and play connection between the factory USB socket wiring and the rear USB input on a compatible aftermarket head unit, retaining the factory USB socket in the cabin without cutting or modifying the factory harness. This allows passengers to continue using the factory USB socket for device charging and media playback after the factory radio has been replaced.

The MTAXMBUSB covers 15 confirmed Mercedes models from 2004 to 2018. For the Mercedes Vito, confirm the chassis code before ordering. The MTAXMBUSB covers the Vito W639 (2007 to 2015). For the newer Vito W447 (2015 to 2019), the PC7-AUX-MB01 adaptor is the correct product and also retains the factory AUX socket in addition to USB.
