smc, please tell us how you did the XM radio in the ashtray. Does it integrate with the COMAND system, was it a big deal to install and how is the sound quality? I want this in my S class badly.
Thanks

xm radio is a satellite system that's works off the auxillary part of

the radio. It's the outlet in the glove box that they tie into. As far

installation goes you better have a radio shop do it for you , Mine

is an alpine unit. The marker lights are the amber lenses on most

cars Located in the front corner off the bumper area. In europe

they do not have any, wich in the picture that's what my car looks

like.

Did you guys get them painted or buy them already painted. I think some firm had painted ones for sale at some point.
Thanks
