Sirius pricing
What are people paying for Sirius? My dealer (SF Bay Area) quoted me $1,589 (not including installation or any Sirius service!) and on top of that says that they can only do MB approved installation which means putting the "cancer" on the trunk.

I believe the kit is $679 and I think that includes 14 months of free connect time.
I can't see why it would take a dealer more than 2-3 hours to install it once they had done it once.
I'd say anything over $900 installed is a crime.
BTW, I just called the local Lexus dealer and they want $1,295 to install the factory kit in a new LS-430.
Of course it's XM Radio and not Sirius. I'd never install Sirius in my car because it appears to be slanted to the younger set whereas XM Radio seems more suited to mature audiences.

I had XM installed $700. It's in the ashtray of my S500. BTW, you can get a very small antenna, a micro antenna from Blitzsafe. Mine is mounted on the back of the roof, painted bodycolor and barely even noticable.

Anything over 679 goes to the dealer. 679 includes 14 mos of service. Dont pay more than 200 for install. I've been quoted 150.
By the way, there is a way to install it with a aftermarket T antenna in the rain sensor box.. I have not tried it yet, will keep posted. My 150 install price included the antenna.

The antenna is inside the car, on the parcel shelf on the driver's side. I get a rare fade out which is more than an acceptable trade off for the invisibile nature of the install. If I put the antenna in the center of the parcel shelf, the fade would probably reduce (fade comes when the signal can't be picked up through the C-pillar).

Anyone in the Bay Area get a better quote on the parts/installtion?

XM w/ Delphi in G500
I didn't like Sirius plus I can switch the SkiFi unit between the 2 MBs, house and the Sea Ray.
Not seemless, not integrated w/ the COMAND, but still an option.
