>From memory, it's the antenna height over-ride. When you first turned the radio on, the original antenna came up until the radio got good reception then it stopped. But the antenna did not self adjust as you were driving and you could manually move the antenna up & down "as needed". Everyone else just ran the mast all the way up.
I'd like to say that this is another example of Mercedes over Engineering. But it's not - it's an example of Becker over Engineering.

It looks exactly like the single rocker switch in the rear door. The extra switch is located between the two rows of double window switches. The car doesn't have a sunroof, and in any case I believe sunroof switches were normally on the dash. Could this be the antenna height switch (the car has an electric antenna, but I doubt it is the original because it isn't a Hirschmann) or is there some other option that I don't even know I have!?
