First, you have to have the radio itself installed. Then an antenna has to be mounted. Finally you simply call Sirius and you get over a year of free service.
WARNING: I had the antenna installed in the rear deck lid in my brand new C55. There is an extra charge for this stealth procedure.
Reception is iffy and am having the dealer change it to a roof mount. The clean "no see" install is fabulous until you challenge the Sirius even a little bit. It is truly disappointing that MB put enough attention on Audio to integrate an excellent sat radio into the car and then totally dropped the ball on engineering a discreet antenna to finish the job.

I am activating mine and for some reason when I go to the "SAT" screen there are not any options that I can choose. It does not allow me to go to any channels.
All it says is the phone number to call and my ESN number. Any feedback? We are having issues activating this head unit.
