If the M-class has it then so does the C-Class and CLK-class. Just a lack of information on the part of the author.

Any NTG 2.5 (W204 COMAND) can have any W164 (2009) option.

So dont stress.

I don't understand why people even bother with radio anymore when nowadays one can download their favorite songs in the highest quality possible and burn them on a DVD? Yes a DVD not just a CD. A high quality DVD should be able to hold 2,000 to 4,000 high quality mp3s with ease. That way you have your favorite songs right there on demand instantly without waiting until they're played on radio. I understand getting news and information from radio, but for music?

Radio variety sometimes > your song collection. Its about choice.

I believe it is correct that MB is not offering HD for the C class... also i believe for the CLS.

you are correct that those vehicles will support HD radio so it can be installed if you understand how.

I think you answered your own question.

Its a bit difficult listening to a live football game whilst driving home if you haven't got a radio!

Im pretty certain it will fit into the C-Class and CLK. In fact it fits into the A-Class and B-Class too.

Well, my point was that you can download all songs that've been playing on the radio for the last 3 years, then burn them at highest quality, then play them on demand. You can 4,000 songs of variety and they're on-demand You can play them randomly, or you can make your own play list.

I definitely understand the need for radio if you still get the news from it, but for the game, it's a maybe? In a world of Tivo, and digital cable/satellite, one can record any show any time, and then watch it at their own convinience in full HD with the ability to pause, rewind, etc.... Radio is just too obselete.

Do you guy know if the C63 has the ability to record from the Sirius radio to the drive?
