Antenna System Component Location Overview

Antenna System Component Location Overview

The antennas are integrated inside the heated rear window (Z1) and roof antenna (RX5).

The antenna system consists of the following parts:

• Antenna (R11) (AM/FM1) inside the rear window defogger (Z1) right

• Radio antenna 2 (R93) (FM2) inside the rear window defogger (Z1) left

• Satellite tuner antenna (R172) (SDARS) inside the roof antenna (RX5) (depending on the vehicle equipment level)

• GPS antenna (R50) (GPS) inside the roof antenna (RX5) (depending on the vehicle equipment level)

The antenna system includes a "diversity function" integrated in the Radio/RNS (RX1). The "diversity feature" improves and optimizes the reception quality inside the vehicle.

• Familiarity with the function and operation of the parking aid is essential when addressing customer complaints.

• Additional information, refer to the Owner's Manual,.

• Use the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester for Servicing or Troubleshooting.

• Check all vehicle equipment (clock, Convenience System, etc.) after connecting the battery.

A new repair concept has been developed for repairing antenna wires. Instead of a complete antenna wire, connecting wires of different lengths and various adapter leads are now available as replacement parts.
