Need to add Sirius

Just bought an 06 S55 that has just about every option, but curiously no sat radio. Am I better off searching for a used MB module, or buying a new aftermarket unit from Cartronics?

Either will work for you. If you can get a factory kit cheaper than ours, there is no reason not to get the factory option. We offer the same level of function when it comes to Sat radio. Other features we far surpass the factory functions, but Sat radio is Sat radio. We are less than new parts, but used ones are sometimes better priced.

Thanks for the response. Does your kit come with the accessories necessary for installation (adapters, cables, antenna, etc.)?

navtv had a special on this last week, talk to derek 866.477.3336 also mobridge makes a unit in XM... I found a few tuners before online used but it always seemed a PITA getting them here. also www.mbdoctor.com is a good source and every time I dealt with them... it was as promised.. i see they have the cabling for the sat tuner, so maybe look on line for the tuner
