Just bought an 05 E320 and would like to know if there's a way I can check to see if the factory Sirius is already there. Anybody know how I could do that? Thanks, this is my first post to the forum.

 

Telltale, there will be a SDARS antenna mounted to the center of the trunk lid.
- Press the SAT button
Tune channel 184 (preview channel) all channels are visible and radio functions
- No audio and the IC displays “Unsubscribed”, retrieve ESN # (SAT – Service) call SIRIUS 888-539-7474

If the antenna is not there, PM your email address and I will forward a copy of SIRUS install instructions if interested in doing so.

 

Here's a question I've always wondered about. At what point in time did the W211 come (partly) pre-wired for SIRIUS?

I've wanted to add it to my S211 but given that it originally came with an Audio 50 head unit (which I've since swapped out with a COMAND unit) but I'm wondering if SIRIUS pre-wiring only started after COMANDs started coming out at the factory...

 

Can't say Canada is same but in US '05 models had the wiring (but not the boxes), '06 had neither, and '07 and on have it all, even the antenna.

 

Any idea whether 04's had prewiring?

 

Mine Did. But I ordered mine to have Satellite Radio, but the SDARS receivers weren't ready when the car was shipped. (Del'd 12/23/03) The units became available in April 04, and a new trunk liner was installed with it, along with a trunk mounted PC Mouse sized black antenna. (Photo Attached)
