I called the dealer that is about 3 miles from my house, MB of Pembroke Pines.... asked how much to install Sirius and the iPod integration kit...

$1250 for the Sirius install
$1100 for the iPod kit....

Called the dealer I bought it from, 25 miles away.... they were able to get me an apppointment today, and do the Sirius for $800 and the iPod kit for $700, and give me a free loaner.... Bill Ussery....

they wouldn't mount the antenna anywhere other than right in the middle of the trunk.... I tried to get them to put in on the roof, right in front of the existing antenna....

fair pricing from the 25mile dealer... SteveNLBenz does them for about that price I think...

Fikse

took them all day yesterday, got the car back this morning.... the iPod sounds awesome.... easy to control once you get the hang of it....

anyone know if you can pause a song while using the iPod?? the sat radio antenna isn't that bad on the trunk.... only 10 presets for 120+ channels though?

$600.00 for the ipod kit installed. I don't remember what the Sirius price was, but I think it was around $800.

I have learned to live with the limited number of presets by using them for the main channel in different categories. I then use the arrows on the steering wheel to scroll through the category. It works reasonably well.

Fikse

good idea.... I like how you can enter in the channels using the keypad....

BTW, can you set the steering wheel to cycle through the preset radio stations instead of seeking? I did this on my C32, but can't find the setting on the E....

HI!
FIKSE, what year is your car?

Thanks

If it's an 05 or 06, No. Actually, I prefer it to not scroll through presets. If it did, then you could use the arrows for only 10 channels. As it is, you can scroll through a lot more channels by occasionally pushing a reset button to move to another category.

Also, you can enter a channel directly by pushing * and the numbers.

agreed that the price is fair from the 2nd dealer.

MBenzNL pricing for the iPod was lower than $700. And I think Steve will work with you to find the best location for the satellite antenna.

Just another vouch for MBenzNL again

Go buy your own antenna at sound advice and install it under the plastic grille in the hood, then run the wire to the trunk and let the dealer do the rest. I live on Miami Beach if you want to see it in person. Don't let them drill a hole in your trunk.

Just reread your post too late I guess...

dragonAMG

how is the sound quality of both?

Fikse

they both sound really good.... so aweome to control the ipod from the steering wheel....
