RDS Radio?

I have a 2002 CLK430. It has the 6 disk CD changer and Navigation system. How do I know if if the radio supports RDS? I needed to know so I can get an integrated satellite radio system.

Thanks!

Only the EURO COMAND and other European head units support RDS...stupidest thing MB ever did. I have an Audio 10 (purchased from UK) in my CLK and get RDS. Good luck!

Thank you both for responding. Looks like I'll have to do some research on an Audio 10 unit

I did some more research on this. It looks like I can use the AUX input in the glovebox to connect the satellite radio unit to the car stereo system. Just curious if anybody has gone this route and what the sound quality is like?
