WIS Instructions for access to 2020 GLC Tuner, etc.

I'm looking at installing a Sirius Satellite Tuner since mine didn't come with the system (we thought it was included in all of the new headunits and didn't order the "Special Package" that included other stuff we didn't want) and I need to see how stuff connects up to the existing system. I assume its all mounted somehow behind the glove box, but don't know how to access it. So I'm hoping someone has access to the MB WIS instructions that would show me where everything is in the 2020 GLC and how to access it. I don't know if the 2019 would work since the 2020 is a new headunit. On another point while I'm at it, I understand that all of the "antennas" are located in one of the rear view mirrors. Which mirror is it, and are all of the cars fully pre-wired which would also include the wiring for a Satellite antenna even if you don't get the Sirius Package? I do have the upgraded Navigation System. Thanks.

You are way better served adding Sirius app to your phone...

I really don't like having to use the wired connection and plug and unplug the phone for CarPlay. I've been using it, and would like it much better if it were cordless. Do you have a solution for that? I don't think wireless is available in the MB at this time.

If its like DAB or TV tuner, *(and it probably is) its in the trunk on the right. However, there is unlikely to be any fibre/power or antenna wiring ...

I am sure the Sirius app works over Bluetooth.

1. Sirius - again, get that app in 5 min - as pointed out you can Buetooth or Carplay connect either way

2. CarPlay your "wired" CarPlay is free from Day 1 to infinity - and when you are Wired you will always get out of the car regardless how long you drive - with more battery power in your phone than when you got in
