Question Sat radio installation?

I'd like to have satellite radio installed in my '04 SL500. My COMAND unit does have the SAT button, so I assume that's it's prewired for satellite. Any idea what parts and installation might be for this from a MB dealer? I tried emailing my local MB dealer from their web site, but got no response.

If you use a dealer for service, just call your service advisor. It will probably be between $1,000 and $1,500. If you're serious about Sirius, you should call multiple dealers since some are more willing to deal on something like this than others.

THe kit is about $450 and is a self install if you want to tackle it. otherwise tack on 3 or 4 hours labor and that should be a ballpark price.

Thanks all - I'll give a few dealers a call and see who I can get the best price from. I'm hoping the dealer where I got my SL from can cut me a bit of a deal.
