I am addicted to XM Radio, and I bought a 2003 CLK 430 conv a few days ago and have been racking my head on how to install it without it being seen anywhere! THANKS! I am going to do this ASAP. What is a Compact Disc?!?! satellite radio all the way!
Good job...
I hid my Sirius antenna under the plastic grill under the right side windshield wiper. There is a plastic knockout plug in the firewall. You can get to it by removing the passenger side footwell plastic (under glove compartment...removal when changing cabin filter). You will see it in the upper most right corner.....just below the windshield. I removed the ashtray and lighter and placed the unit there. I fed the antenna wire up through the back. Power comes from the cigarette lighter hot wire. I also have an aux cable feeding back to the glove compartment to use when I can't find a clear no signal fm channel.

Wow, I wish I knew this before when I was putting my Xbox 360 in the car. I never saw any hole going from the armrest to under the shifter... Guess Ill have to go get a hanger from the closet.
Well I installed it all, got one to fit in the ashtray. I did have some reception issues with the antenna under the plastic, so I mounted on top instead. Hardly noticeable. Works great and looks great. I will try and post some pics later.
