As explained by the previous owner in the comments below it is not a factory head unit. We do have the receipt with the car for the installation of the unit.

I don’t know by your username, and I probably couldn’t remember anyway! It’s true. These are phenomenal cars that are getting harder to find and, in my opinion, only going up in value. I sold a CL63 on this website so I don’t think the owner will mind our conversation. I’m certainly not hijacking the auction, only speaking the truth. This car is in outstanding condition and there aren’t many other like it in this condition. If you’re looking for a clean, rare 06, this is incredibly nice. Good luck!February 28th, 2022 at 7:36pm ESTgbouton (13) 1@static50 I think I spoke to you a few years ago about about a C55 you were selling back then...maybe it was your 2005? I recall your "bridge commute" and reason for moving to a longer wheelbase car. Anyway, if that was you--small world!

While the description says no mods were done to the car, they’re referring to the engine and performance aspect. The original owner in Texas changed out the original head unit with a more modern, at the time, unit that has satellite radio. It cost $2,700 about 15 years ago as I recall. The receipt for the work should still be in the car. The power amp is mounted in the trunk and is very professionally done and takes up very little room. As for my experience with the car in general, it was my second C55. This one is in outstanding condition and whoever ends up with it will be very pleased. I believe these to be the simplest and among the best AMG cars ever, and I’ve owned around ten different AMG cars over the years. My 2005 that I owned a few years back was outstanding, and I recall spending absolutely nothing besides oil changes. My only reason parting with this one is the type of driving that I regularly do, which takes me to and from New Orleans to Covington, LA over a 24 mile long bridge. I kept the miles down on this car purposely and just drove it on the Northshore. The car needs absolutely nothing to the best of my knowledge and I would drive this car across the country without hesitation. I worked out a deal with t
