Sirius in 06 E55?
After attempted install for 3 hours at the dealership, we learned that any E class built after June 1, 05 has no prewiring for Sirius. So I'd like to know of the best aftermarket setup that will give the best sound. With no prewiring I know it won't integrate with Command, but would still like to get it in some capacity. Thanks!

Nothing MB related (sorry)
Houston, you can connect a (aftermarket) SAT radio to the AUX input - but make sure that the SAT kit has an output that connects to the Aux in!
Grizbo - your dealership could consider pre-wiring the car themselves after which they can install Sirius. Or you could consider getting the job done by Steve...

BigSis--Thanks for your reply. My dealer told me it can't be wired to the Command system if not already done at the factory; seems to me they could connect somewhere so I'll get other dealer's input. BTW, who is Steve and where's he located?

aftermarket install...
I bought the roady 2 (which has a stereo output that plugs directly into the aux input in the glove box).
The antenna for this setup also has an extremely thin wire. I stuck the antenna on the rear parcel deck (found some metal below the cloth (its magnetic mount) just off center toward the passenger side. Then ran the wire all the way to the front of the car, under the dash.
I'm going to put the roady 2 in the ashtray compartment and have all the wires hidden will post pics when done.
good luck.
