You would think there is the base and there is the optional Burmester, but no there is an optional called Advanced sound system too option code SA-853, cheaper than Burmester. Nothing Advanced about it, sounds not good at all. Maybe by advanced, they mean complicated wiring, etc. Which makes it difficult to replace or upgrade. Disappointing!


Does anyone know a Forum where ppl discuss Mercedes sound systems? Thanks!

If advanced is bad then what does basic/standard sound like?
