How to tell you have HK sound system?
Hi All,

New to the MB world...just purchased an 06 r350 CPO w/ the "mid package" which im told consists of:

navi, RES, heated 2nd row, power tailgate, pan. roof, upgraded trim (leather + wood trim + chrome on exterior??).

Im wondering how I can tell if there is the Harman Kardon sound system?

Salesman tells me I have it since i got the navi.

Ive read that the HK system comes with a 6disc changer..but i don't have a 6disc changer in my glove box, only a single cd and dvd slot behind the COMAND LCD.

Is there any other way to tell? Count the # speakers?

I've seen pictures in ads that show the "HK" emblem on the speaker grills.
Not sure if the non-HK speakers grills have any emblem.

The speaker covers next to the two front seats will just say "Harmon Kardon". If you have them, you have the option.

Yup, and if they do, you should have the 6-disk changer.

Also, if you go in the trunk and lift up the trunk bed you should see the HK emblem on the subwoofer.
