Not that I ever listen to AM, but down here in SoCal I can pickup the 24 hour news stations and radio disney without any problems. They all have a 1 at the end (KNX 1070 is now 1071, Disney 710 is now 711). Have you played with shortwave yet? At night I can pickup some news and foreign language stations. It would be cool to pick up a German language station and tell people its' a German radio.

My question is this.. If the car comes with a factory Bose sound system, will I need to change the speakers and add a new amp in order to install a new head unit?
I've spoken to a person at Crutchfield and they said all the MB C class have a seperate amp for each speaker so I can't install an aftermarket HU without having to install new speakers and amps.
Can anyone confirm this?
Thanks!

Correct me if I´m wrong, but I believe that is the volume level for traffic announcements. I don´t have a Audio10 myself, but TA can be found on most HUs (at least on European models)

When TA is selected certain traffic announcements will interrupt CD playback and normal radio playback. This TA control can be used to increase/decrease the volume in (if I remember correctly) 4 steps. +0, +3, +6 and +9 dB.

I was wondering why it said that when I pushed that speaker button. I thought it dispensed TP or toilet paper. 
Does that work in the U.S.? Have you heard any traffic announcements? I wish I knew someone traveling to the UK or Australia that can bring back an instruction manual.
