2004 SL 600 - Satellite, Phone, and MP3
I have a 2004 SL 600 which I purchased new.
I would like to know how hard it would be to do upgrade the command system for the following items (In order of importance to me)
1. Add sirious satellite radio. The command unit does have the sat button; can I just add the factory based sirious and have it work through the head unit?
2. Upgrade the existing motorola phone (which I never turned on) to the V600. I'm willing to just purchase the benz phone to keep the car entirely factory. Is this just a matter of just changing the phone itself? My existing V600 with ATT will plug into the cradle. Do I just need to get the benz phone for it's different internal electronics and swap in my SIM card?
3. Play mp3 cd's in the command unit. Easy update? Software? Simple firmware? Not a big deal to spend a lot of money on.
4. Upgrade the unit to dvd navigation? Just curious on this one.
Thanks for the help! I did some searching and couldn't find these answers for a newer command unit.
