SAT Radio Question

Does anyone know if the dealer can install Sirius in a car that didnt have it as an option? My dad wants to put it in the R because FM sucks around here. Will it be pricier than if we just ordered the car with it? Anyone know the price?


Thanks guys.

Yes, it will be pricier. How much will depend on the dealer. Best thing for you would be to call around in your area. Otherwise you might wind up getting quotes from all over the country.

Or you can do the aftermarket stuff and loose some features.

the only issue with the factory r location is that it is under the passenger seat, well just aft of it... and I seen a tech have to remove the rear seat, b pillar, trim molding, center console, and passenger seat to get to one.

Sounds like DIY is out of the question.

Call Mike Bowers at 954-328-1073. His shop is on Dixie Highway just south of Copans Road.

I bought my '06 C280 from MB of Pompano. It didn't come with Sirius installed at the factory. Mike is a certified MB mechanic and an authorized installer. He is the contractor who does the work for MB Pompano. My salesman hooked me up with him directly.

He installed the equipment and mounted the antenna under the hood. The reception is perfect. The system works exactly as if it were installed by the factory.

Good luck.
