Re: [MBZ] W140 FM antenna question, once more

2007-11-08 Thread Hendrik & Fay
Far as I know the radio gets it's FM signal from the regular antenna.
Why put an antenna in the bumper, it is not going to get the best 
reception there.

The rear antenna is located on the drivers side rear panel, by the trunk. 
Maybe it is not extending

Well that depends on of course the year, but since you've a diesel  
it's an 92/93?

In looking at the manual
With bumper/rear window antenna
the rear bumper is designed for FM reception, the signal is routed  
via the FM bumper antenna amplifier installed on
the left side in the thrunk to the AM rear window antenna amplifier  
on the left C pillar.
The integrated rear window antenna is designed for AM reception and  
routed to the left C pillar

Other docs talk of the FM bumper antenna amplifier which is located  
under the lower left wheelhouse cover.

Well at yet more that talk about converting the integrated antenna to  
a tri-band mast by disconnecting the AM and FM amp feeds
and redirecting to the tri-band aware mask.

First tho I'd remove the driver sides wheel well cover and see if  
there is a FM antenna amplifer down there in the bumper corner.

I know nothing about W140, but I would assume the FM antenna is the external 
whip.

[MBZ] W140 FM antenna question, once more

Subject: W140 FM antenna question AGAIN

My FM is intermittently fuzzy, where is the FM antenna located,   Is it in
the regular antenna or in the rear bumper?
I think I need to check the connections.
