Sirius in 06 models

My car didn't come with Sirius so I wanted it installed. Took it to the dealer who kept it 3 hours then called to say it isn't prewired and won't work. He called MBUSA who informed him that any of our cars with build dates after May 31, 2005 ARE NOT prewired so the MB Sirius module won't work. Why they've stopped prewiring them is anybodies guess---won't make Sirius too happy cause it costs them sales. Guess I'll look for another aftermarket route but it won't integrate with Command. Anybody done this? Is the sound thru the stereo good?

Check with Steve at MBenzNL before you do anything. He knows this stuff backwards and if there is any way to do it, he can do it.
