Hi All. I have a 2013 Smart 451 with factory radio. Mine was a fleet vehicle so it does not have the USB and AUX in the glove box. Anyone have a line on where I can get those cables? I’m assuming my radio has the ports in the back and I can add these easily enough?

The AUX/USB cable should be A4518200015 - however, the Mercedes parts catalog shows that as no longer available. Might find one on eBay or from Autobahn smart parts.

Would be more beneficial to add an aftermarket radio with Apple car play or android auto? That’s what I will be doing to mine. Kit is simple enough for you to install. And adds the Bluetooth hand free also. Don’t forget the Waze app. Which is worth every penny nowadays.

Depends. The USB port on the factory head unit is actually more or less for flash drives and older MP3 players. It's not compatible with most phones. What I did was get a bluetooth transmitter that plugs into the AUX and charges by the USB.

If you want something more advanced like CarPlay or Android Auto, can't go wrong with aftermarket.

Yes I have done this in my work truck also. Worked great. Bought it from bestbuy. Aluratek - iStream Universal Bluetooth Audio Receiver

Ditto, I’d go after market, with blue tooth, Apple car play, and android auto. Check out Crutchfield audio lots of aftermarket offerings. I wouldn’t waste any money on smart radio. They’re basically doorstops.
