Sirius Ready

How do I find out if my C230WZ is sirius ready? And I know this is dumb, but I'm a newb so please dont crucify me... but how do I find out if i have a multi cd changer?

I have my manuals, but my manual is for 7 different versions of the C class. I cant find out much information on my car because service is closed today and tomorrow.

Do you have a cd changer in your glove box? I believe 06 sirius should be no problem but 07 has been stripped down. It is mounded in the 'well' on the right side of the trunk.

Don't give up so quick. I don't know anything abut the Sirius setup, but I imagine you will get some good answers here soon.

If your vehicle is 06 then it should have sirius. From what I heard people say the antenna in the back is the sirius antenna. So I believe your vehicle is sirius ready if it's an 06.

Check behind the side panel in your trunk and see if you find the orange fiber optic cable that is labeled SDARS or SAT. Should look some thing like this. If you have it, you should be pre-wired for the SAT receiver that mounts in the trunk. You then have to install and have it coded to the head unit.
