What are my options to get Sirius radio? The car was not built with it.
Folks, we have a 2005 SLK350 with the base radio. I think it's called a 10 or a 20...
Anyway, what are the options to get Sirius in this vehicle? Can the current radio be set up or optioned to receive Sirius? I would prefer using the original MB equipment (and add-ons) if possible.
I do understand that an antenna will be needed, but what else has to happen? Thanks.

I think the 2005 model SLK's are wired for Sirius, so all you would need is the MB kit. I added the kit is 2005 and I think the cost was around $550. Also you need to have the car programed to show Sirius present. One last thing, if you buy the MB kit don't put the antena on the trunk. Put it inside the false air vent on the drivers side of the hood. Works just fine there.
