Audio installer in SF Bay Area?
I live in Palo Alto CA and I'm looking for a good audio installer who I can entrust my new G500 with. All I need to do is have an XM tuner and FM modulator installed (since no one knows if/where the AUX inputs on the G500 COMMAND system are including MBUSA).
No one I've called in the area has ever done any work on this kind of car and I'm concerned about being the guinea pig. I don't mind paying a premium for quality work.

No AUX in the glovebox of my '03 G55 either. Just curious as to what you ended up doing. Thanks.

It also helps to have the proper tools from (or specifically for) Mercedes, such as the crimp tools, pin extractors, etc.

Thanks. Presumably, this ought to be done at the dealer's. Any idea as to how much it will end up costing? Doubtful it will be covered under warranty.

Also, Steve (MBenzNL) does these kinds of retrofits, and he is in the New York area right now until Thursday. You may want to contact him to schedule an appointment... mail him at s_krabbenborg@hotmail.com
Good luck!

Steve seems really nice. Hope he can fit me in before he leaves for California.
Thanks again for help. In the likely event that he can't fit me in, any other suggestions as to how I may be able to solve my predicament.
