What's the part # on the receiver, I might be interested? It needs to have the green plug and 2 antenna inputs like the fourth picture in post #1.

How many variations on the word Toadster can there be?
I have a workshop manual that tells you how to install Sirius
I can bring it with me to work tomorrow and scan in if anyone wants it.
I thought YM did a DIY but it was for the IPOD Install

I would be gratefull if you give my some info of how to remove sirius sat radio completely because when i remove just sirius unit that is on right side of the trunk command does not start it freezes on logo so i think I will have to remove those wires to that goes in to the sirius unit also antenna that it located on the trunk. thanks

what toadster means?

moosejaw

Thats because you have connectors connected in the rear trunk package which makes up the MOST Ring
I forgot them this morning but i'll take a pic when i get home. I dont know why i cant find this PDF Document online. I found it so easily before

MB-CLS500

thank you very much indeed I will be waiting

moosejaw

I found for you this post.....
https://mbworld.org/forums/1266748-post7.html

There are pics in there that will show you the rear shelf in the very deep part of the trunk. Its a PITA to get to.
It also helps to do a search for SDARS in the forum search which is what i originally did but forgot.

Originally a W211 E Class without Sirius had a MOST RING with a connected yellow wire connection and unconnected orange wires in the car. If you wanted to install sirius......you just unplug the yellow connection and jump in between it with the orange connection.

So to remove the unit just disconnect the yellow fiber from the orange connector and reconnect it back to the yellow fiber. Leave the orange disconnected. This is the signal that is sent by the sirius unit to the command.

What you are doing here is removing the sirius unit from the MOST ring which is just really a daisy chain of all the electronics leading back to the command.

Toadster is a play on the posters name which is really Todd.

Turdster
Turdstar

Eventually there will be a ceremony with Emoving rewarding Toadster with MBWorld knight hood as soon as Marcus can fit the event into his busy schedule.

thank you for quick reply . is it possible to remove everything and make a sirius retrofit kit if i remove antenna that unit but wires are a big headache

moosejaw

NOt really a headache
I had a sirius sportster unit in my C32 that wired into the AUX receptalce in the glovebox
I dont know but how is the antenna wired into your car?

MB-CLS500

I don't know but it is on the trunk and is same color as car

moosejaw

Oh lord it truly is a US Spec car.
Look at my pic in my first post and thats where the antenna is installed with the two into one wires.

1. Just disconnect those wires from the SDAR unit. The unit is in the back so there shouldnt be a mess of wiring
2. Find where it leads to in the Trunk
3. Remove the antennae on the Trunk from the inside. YOu will have to remove trunk liner.
4. Fill and Repaint hole in Trunk left by removed antenna. (I would just leave it)

MB-CLS500

I can figure out wich wire leads to the trunk because when i open it there is no any wire that goes up I will find it later thank you

MB-CLS500

what do you think is a good selling price for the this sirius unit and antenna? I have not sold anything in my life even this cls is my first car

MB-CLS500

hello I took my sirius receiver out and fixed command issue.
I am selling it with bracket and bolts . $200

moosejaw

Did my replays to you help?
That's a fair price

MB-CLS500

Yes your replies helped my a lot and actually gave my idea how these electronic work on mercedes i disconnected that yellow fiber optic from orange and connected to yellow and it works now thank you so much

I've installed an oem SDAR in my 2005 E320. My question is plugging and unplugging the fiber optic cables in the part of the trunk right behind the rear seat. I understand which cables need to get plugged into which cables (yellow and orange). What I'm not sure about is the unplugging; do you pull the cable out of the fiber optic coupler or do you open up the coupler and lay the cable inside. Can you "pull" the cable out of the coupler without damaging it?
