2004 S430 WOW! After 23 Caddys MB IS the BEST!

I just bought my first MB, after owning nearly every kind of Caddy! Where have I been? Wow! I just made a 2200 mile trip and got 27.9 mpg and never ran much slower than 80 mph! HEAVEN is in my front seat!

My only problem is I can get the info from MB to get a digital Tele Aide unit installed. It still has an analog one, and I want to add Sat Radio, and finding that solution is frustrating! Who makes a replacement Nav head that can integrate an iPhone 5?

Godspeed! Thank you Jesus and Germany!

You should be able to add both Sat and BT for your iphone? Does the car have the oem radio?

Yes! What is SAT and BT?

Yes, it has an OEM radio without sat radio, teleaid or mbrace.

I can't get the local dealer to help me get the digital upgrade to activate Tele Aide or MBrace. They keep saying they need a particular service bulletin for which MBUSA told me they would call the service writer I have been dealing with to give it to him personally. I have absolutely loved the car; best ever, but service is dismal! Any advice?
