2006 C280 W203 Sirius Tuner Location
Hello all,
I am new to the forum but not new to the site. I purchased an 2006 C280 and this past weekend I just installed an Avic-D3, DVD Headrests in both front seats, backup camera, new sirius tuner and Pioneer HD radio kit.
I need to remove the OEM sirius and would like to sell it. I have been searching the forums and found the location of a few other vehicles but not mine. I had heard rear passenger tail light in trunch, behind glove box and under driver seat from multiple people on the forum when I sent PMs or read their responses.
I checked under the seat but there was nothing there beside the electrical controls for the seat.
So I am making my first post in hopes of getting some help. I appreciate whatever help I get from you guys. In the last month I learned about taking the headrests out, how to remove the deck and how to do the DIY install of new air filter, all of which im gratefull for. Now if I can just get this tuner uninstalled and my steering wheel controls hooked up I would be great!
If anyones knows the location I would greatly appreciate the help. I am also going to sell the stock deck, I had the Harmon Kardon system installed from factory, and the sirius tuner which was just activated for a full year, already paid, so if you guys have any ideas on what I should be looking to charge that would be great.
If you guys are interested in pics of the car and deck install I would be happy to post them.
Thanks everyone!

Hey Shawn, welcome. the sirius sat tuner was an option and the actual module is in the right (passeneger side -US) rear of your trunk. behind the wheel well arch on the side. pull the panel, and you should see it if you have it. Looks like this:

As an FYI...used sat units sell in the $ 300- 500 range. And do post up some pics of the new ride. Sounds nice...

No prob Shawn, BTW it should be mounted in a bracket that looks like this. Also the 2005 + model years use a unit like the pic I posted. It is called a MOST style unit. The older sat modules for the 01-04 model years are stlighly different and are a D2B style. As an FYI, i sold a most style set-up with bracket and antenna for $375 and it flew out the door. I posted it in the classified section on this forum. Good luck on it. Cheers, Greg

I attached some pics. The deck is actually the F9000BT or something like that, sorry not really up on the whole thing just yet--getting there, I installed the pioneer add-on for HD radio, the steering wheel controls will get done this weekend, I added the pioneer interface for Sirius and the tuner, I added the IPOD and USB cable and routed them under the shifted into the armrest using the same wholes as the stock wiring for the phone system.

Getting the dash and arm rest apart just needed a few small torgue drivers and a plastic wedge to make sure I didnt mark up the dash. Install was easy to me and im a computer guy. Just make sure you get the wiring harness and antenna adapter, get the one with the power cable, and your life will be allot easier.
