280 SLK Entertainment pkg by fortinjlf

According to 2005 SLK sales brochure the 420 Entertainment pkg contains 'integrated 6-disc CD changer, mounted inglovebox' and lists for $1,600. However, the current info for the 2006 SLK 280 on the MB website does not list the changer in the pkg, and additionally lists for $1,700. Also, it seems that the auto dimming interior rearview mirror ahs been changed from the 326 to 317 pkg with confusing pricing. Comments? Other info?

Does anyone know why the latest info on the MB website does not list the integrated 6-disc CD changer on the 420 Entertainment pkg? The 2005 SLK brochure lists it in the pkg which listed for $1600, while the 2006 list price on the 280 model is listed for $1700. What gives?

Sirius is added and the glove box located CD changer has been removed. The CD changer is a standalone option now. There were many changes for 2006.

I just installed a cd changer in my 2001 slk and my stereo still says "no cd changer" . I plugged the fiber optic in but there are two fiber optic plugs, one with two wires HUM in and HUM out and one with TEL.I dont know if I wired it wrong or if there is something else I have to do to get the stereo to recognize the changer.
I would appreciate any help.

BSS Audio controls by ejerod

I owned the 2003 SL500 and while there are some cosmetic changes to the car it's basically the same system. The audio controls do scan all radio stations when you hit the arrow key. Refer to your owners manual . If you have the hands free phone there should be a separate manual that is actually a pamphlet on all the controls. I also own a 2002 S500. I don't recall being able to scan presets. You might want to try this. Using the page buttons (they have the little pictures of the pages on them). Scroll through the pages and look at them on your dashboard. It is here that you can changes setting for such things as how long your lights stay on after you exit the car, the language, etc. Like I said, I don't recall being able to scan presets, but then again it was never an issue with me. I just hit the preset buttons and actually rarely used the arrow keys to scroll. Really cool car though. I wish I'd kept it now. I'll get another one soon after my new home is built. You're going to love that car.. happy motoring

SLK 280 Stereo Sound by benzluvr

I purchased a new SLK280 and have realized that the stereo system is totally flat and non ambient. I will never purchase another MB without it having at least the Bose system like I have in my SLK230. Ive checked with MB and the local dealerships and it sounds as though Im stuck with flat sound in a $50k plus MB. Doesnt seem to be a way to upgrade to a decent stereo.. any experience with this or suggestions?

SLK 350 Harmon Kardon audio system by greasykid1

Need some info re. HK system.According to the brochure there are 11 speakers but we only get front sound.
 
Does anybody get the full surround sound from the rear and if so where are the rear/surround speakers located?
 
When going to the "settings" position on the screen the diagram does not indicate any rear sound or sound settings.
 
Car is any early 2005 model if this helps.

I have an 06, but I believe there are two speakers inbetween the seats. Im sure if they advertise 11 there must be 11. I also dont like that there is no fader between the front to rear albeit there isnt much of a rear to the vehicle. It would have been nice it there was a fader or some sort of surround sound control.Maybe if they get enough complaints they will offer a software upgrade to correct the problem.
