Want to add Sirius radio to my SL. Need to get to radio antenna in back of radio head unit. How to I get there? Is it difficult?
Any advce would be helpful.

Thanks

 

You'll need to purchase a set of radio removal tools. They're pretty easy to find. Check EBay - you should be able to pick up a set for around $10. Once inserted, the tools allow you to pull the radio straight out of the dash.

 

Half of the 2006 SL500's produced in Germany for the American market had a Sirius Sat ant. installed at the Vehicle Processing Center in Jacksonville Florida as part of a no charge promotion from Sirius. (about 500 units total) Rest of the SL's were not retro fitted and the dealerships won't mess with it at all.

 

r230 sl's do not use radio keys ever. the head unit takes some finess to get out without damaging the wood or dash. and yes depending on the year it is, your vehicle may be prewired from the factory. the prewired vehicles usually have the sat button on the command so if u dont it may not be prewired. the prewired antennea is meant to be used with the benz sirius kit. r u installing a benz kit or just a seperate sirius reciever.
