No RBS on SLK Radio ?!
I meant to ask that a while ago - as happy as I am that the SLK55 Entertainment system finally makes use of CD Text (as well as displaying the text of mp3 DVDs and CDs of course) - I was aghast to find that there seems to be no Radio Broadcast Signal support ? Radios have had that for years now. My 99 Porsche had it. A Mini Cooper we have does it - am I missing something or are we stuck with '98.7' or '104.4' and no scroll text ?!
This is on the 'full' entertaiment (320) package...
Cheers,

Hi all, just got back- hope you had some nice days !
Anyway, no, it's the US headunit. But Porsche has had this in their units (also done by Becker, Siemens etc.) since 1997 - in the US models (Porsche, too, has different European spec headunits). So what gives with Mercedes ?!
I quite like to see the stations NAME on the display, not just the title and / or messages they broadcast. Seems pretty standard in most higher-end cars right now ?
Heck, my girlfriend's Mini has it ?!! :-(
