can someone check their car for me?

i brought my car to the dealership for service b and also complained about crappy radio reception. they ended up finding some distortion (however my reception is still horrible) and replaced a few of my speakers.

i was looking at the speakers on the rear hatshelf and now one speaker has a harmon/kardon badge and the other does not. i can't remember if both speakers on a stock c55 had the harmon/kardon badging or not. can someone go out to their car and check real quick for me before i call my service advisor and raise some hell?

you're fine. i just checked and only the speaker behind driver's side had harmon kardon logo on it, the other one does not.

hmm that's odd, for my car it's the speaker behind the right passenger side that has the h/k logo, not the other way around.

sorry about my typo. yeah my RIGHT rear speak now has the h/k logo and it definately wasn't like that before because now i can see the logo when i check my rear view mirror.

is there any way to check if the speakers they used as replacements are harmon kardon speakers?

also on a side note: the mb website says that we're supposed to have an aux input in the glovebox ("Auxiliary input jack in glovebox allows connection of an Apple® iPod® or other MP3 player to the audio system."), but i'm positive mine doesn't have one.

Mine doesn't...

I think it was an option that you could pick if you want to get an IPOD ready system... And I don't even have an IPOD

..
My HK logo is on the driver's side as well. The passenger side isn't really a speaker. I believe it's either a vent or some type of passive device.
