2006 S 430
Comand upgrade options

Greetings,
I recently purchased a 2006 S 420 in Dallas, TX. I have a Comand head unit with Nav.

I am looking to get some advise in terms of what are my options regarding adding the following (in order of desire):

1) Sirius
2) iPod connection
3) Bluetooth (phone, not BTA)

I got a quote for PART ONLY of $1990 (!) from the MB dealer for the Sirius, and at that point realized I'd need to look to after-market.

Any ideas would be GREATLY appreciated!

Also, if ANYONE knows of a car audio firm in the Dallas/North Texas area that has actually worked on doing any of the above that would be fantastic!

I just purchased the Mobridge for the bluetooth and Ipod as well as the sirrus but then I found out you can get xw instead from mobridge so that is what I ended up getting I am installing it all this weekend as well a remote display for the Valentine and 2x8" subs in the trunk with an alpine amp(I like music not thump)
I have a friend with a similar setup and it works great.
I wuld go in that direction as it is much more cost effective and retains all your controls in the car.

Can you determine if your car is prewired for satellite radio? If so, its a fairly cheap install.

I hate to say this, but i think they worked all the bugs out on one of my vehicles, navtv has a unit that doesn't need prewire or programming
