My seat tomorrow. The one behind it, actually.

Do you think I could use it on the SLK also? Since there is no door frame above the glass side-window (unlike on the S) the wire would be pinched between the glass and the roof. But, unlike the S there is no channel. I can't think of another way to snake the wire outside the car (unless I drive with the top down).

Since the Garmin works OK without the external anetnna it is probably a moot point.

Thanks for your help...your advice is always smart.

 

quite tricky on SLK.

but i have to choose, i prefer running the wire underneath the seal so as to prevent in contact with the glass.

Why not get two signal radiators and run the wire through to the trunk on each car? Leave the radiator part inside the cabin somewhere (hidden discreetly) and leave the antenna in the trunk when you aren't using it. Then just pull it out and stick it on top of a rear fender when you need it. But then again, you really don't need it for the SLK, so you decide.

I'm going to run mine through the firewall on my truck. I'll use a rubber grommet and some sealant. I always put my remote antenna on the hood somewhere and that's where I'll put the receiver part when it's in use and under the hood somewhere when I don't need it.
