Hi

Does anyone know where the radio aerial is in my 98 E300TD estate and why would reception be poorer than the 03 C Class loan car i had last week.
I assume it is the two lines in the N/S cargo window and could Pentagon tints (recently fitted) reduce reception.

Help

Cheers

not sure if the tints could affect your reception,I wouldn't think so.
I have had quite a few probs on the audio gateways on the new e class mercs,the audio gateway is the control unit for the audio system,if its under warranty get it sorted,I have seen reception problems on A classes,as they use the rear window for the aerial,it had got high resistance in it,giving a crackly radio reception,had to fir a new rear screen in the end.
hope this helps
 
I also have the same type of antenna on my 202 Estate.

The very poor reception, in my case, was solved by replacing the antenna connector at the head unit end.
