Differences between 05 and 06 C55's

Hi All,

I'm looking to trade up to a C55 and was wondering what are the differences between the 05 and 06 cars. Please list them here as a search did not bring up anything for me. Even the most trivial tiny differences are welcome including differences in options and in standard features.

In Canada, I think the only difference was that the CD player could play mp3's in the 2006 cars, while the 2005 cars could not.

I noticed that the rear speaker grills are different. I've heard people tell me that if you have a HK stereo it will have a emblem on the speaker grill. However I checked mine and I don't have the emblem but the subwoofer says HK on it..... I just noticed this when I saw a 2005 at the dealer.

The cruise control system is different.... When using the cruise control on an 06', you'll can set the speed digitally....

To my knowledge the only difference was they changed the name of the silver color and they dropped obsidian black from the color options and they made Sirius Radio available as a factory installed option instead of a dealer installed option.
