2003 CL55 Satellite Radio Solutions?
Are there any aftermarket solutions to add preferably XM or secondarily SIRIUS, to my lovely 2003 CL55?
Right now, I just use FM modulation or the aux jack in the glove box with the unit laying on the pax seat, and powered by the lighter socket. Classy, huh?
I really do like XM and would probably go for almost any clean, nice installation. I would pay more that I should, but not crazy money (in excess of $1000....)

I believe it is starting with the 2004 cars.
I'm told you could have ordered a car with SIRIUS in 2003, but you can't retrofit one. I would love to find out this is incorrect.

If the suggestions above don't work out for you, the Dension Gateway 500, which has a frequent use in iPod integration, has AUX inputs as well. An aftermarket solution for either is possible using these inputs. See http://www.benzworld.org/forums/audi...tallation.html and https://mbworld.org/forums/showthrea...88#post2234888

AND unfortunately the salesman who stated that it was a dealer installed option is full of S@it.
It can be installed DIY as most of the CL and S class cars starting in 2004 are already prewired for sirius.
Also the 2004 C and CLK cars with comand and all (US) of them are prewired even if they don't have comand.
the 2004 E class is another SAT ready car but you have to have command.
You only have to purchase the Kit which runs about $500.00 which consist of the SAT module, mounting bracket, a fuse and some misc. cables. Then you go in and version code the car and you are done.
I know this is not much help to you with your 2003 CL, but I just wanted to share that.
