CarTronics??
Has anyone had any experience with this company?

I am looking at a Sat Radio kit but my gut says no for some reason...
Thanks!

I watched all of the installation videos and read through all the threads before I did the the install. The installation was very easy and took no more than 30 minutes. Fortunately my car is very similar to the ones in the videos (06 E350), so once I knew how to remove the shift cover and pull out the ashtray I was pretty much home free. I mounted the unit under the dash on the passenger side and didn't need to remove the CD changer to get at the MOST connection. I tapped into the always on power connections that are right next to the CD Changer MOST connection. I then routed the iPod connector to the arm rest compartment. I did have to go buy a T20 Torx driver to unscrew the underside of the dash on the passenger side.
I'm not a mechanic by trade, so I would rate this install as easy.

I'm a little concerned because they are telling me I can mount my Sat tuner in the rear but I'm not pre-wired for sat. That means there is no wiring from the rear to the comand unit but they say it can still be done?? I will just order it and give it a shot. Thank you for your help!

FYI...the Incartronics iTronic unit is made by mobridge. They are identical. I bought mine from incartronics and yesterday downloaded a firmware upgrade and installation wizard from mobridge, which installation perfectly. I just saw the mobridge BT unit with iPod adapter for $750 on ebay (http://cgi.ebay.com/mObridge-Bluetoo...d=p3286.c0.m14). If I was buying it today I'd buy it on ebay or whereever I could get the best price.
The complete mObridge Bluetooth ABT2010 kit with iPod adapter comes with the following:

Thanks. I can't imagine it would be much different considering both have to be connected into the MOST system somehow. I've done a few car audio installations in the past, just not fiber optic MB's!
