Audio upgrades for G500?

In my friend's C240, there are auxiliary audio inputs in the glove box. The COMMAND system in my G500 also has a setting for AUX audio inputs, but I don't see any inputs in the globe box. Are there AUX inputs on the G500 COMMAND system?

I'm trying to add an XM satellite radio without having to use FM modulation.

Any other tips anyone has about upgrading the sound system? It's actually pretty good, just want a little more bass for those long drives to take it off-road.

Search the audio forum. You need to add the cable. I installed XM in my G - here is a link to the install. It didn't come standard, but easy to do.

Let me know what you discover about adding a sub. I've thought about this also.

Search the forum about adding a sub... maybe on Benzworld or here. I've added an Infinity Basslink to my G-class. It fills in the "missing" bass, but definitely doesn't hit like a ported box would. A simple, inexpensive, yet effective solution.

p.s. I have an aux cable added for my iPod and I don't get any noise (except the normal hiss at 80dB down) through it. You may want to check the quality of your cables, including the aux cable installation.
