Sirius tuner for C230 Coupe
Anyone have any solid information on the Sirius tuner for the 2004 coupe. I see the MB press release says its avail not for the C-Class line (except coupe). I'm imagining that has something to do with the antenna??? If that is the case, I'm sure I could easily remedy that. I can't see why the tuner would be any different between the sedan and coupe.
Thanks!
Thanks!

I brought my 2004 W203 for a sirius install. It is not a problem with the antenna but rather the headunit. Most W203s were sent from the factory with a non-sirius compatible HU.

Yes, you are correct in that there is no hard button. (I actually had to explain that to my dealer!). Basically from what I gathered, most of the 2004 W203s that were produced in 2003 were sent with the non-compatable radio. The radios look the same. but the wiring is different apparently.

I think its more of an internal radio thing.... not the wiring into the radio itself. Honestly, I think most of the dealers dont know what they are doing with regards to the Sirius radios and the W203. I called a bunch of different dealers around NYC and they all gave me different answers!

I'm going to have Steve install an AUX input when he does my COMMAND install. Although the satellite radio won't be compatible through the COMMAND, at least I'll have it through a portable receiver.
