New owner of a CLK 500 Cabriolet

After spending a number of years in the W220 section I've now switched to the 209 section after purchasing an '05 CLK 500 Cab. I have a few newbie questions that would help me to better understand the car. Where is the Navigation antenna? Where is the Nav DVD reader located? I feel stupid because I've given the car a quick once over and see no evidence of a Nav. antenna. The Nav. does work even though the DVD shown is the original '05 version.

The car is missing the Cell phone puck and receptacle. The wiring seems to go into the normal area for the puck receptacle. What is required to create a Bluetooth environment for my cell phone? All help will be sincerely appreciated.

The NAVI DVD is in a separate slot behind the NAV screen. The button to tilt the screen is below the screen. make sure you are not letting the screen be on and open for an extended period of time as it gets hot.

I have 04 clk500 convertible. My antennas are inside the trunk lid,
to access you have to remove the inner carpeting.

I'm trying to learn the car. Mercedes are not expensive if you have any ability and know how your car works. Even if you don't do the work yourself knowing what goes what will save you a lot of money, from my past experience. That's why I'm interested.

Thanks, everybody for all the help.

Another problem that has popped up is the passenger side mirror doesn't expose the curb when the transmission is put in reverse. The mirror operates properly else wise but evn after selecting the option it will nor perform the reverse function. Anyone have any suggestions?

1) make sure it is turned on in the convenience menu
2) put the car in R. The engine does not have to be on, but the key needs to be turned 2 clicks to be able to get it out of park.
3) wait a few sec
4) adjust the right side mirror to where you want it to be in reverse and press M
5) put it back in park
6) wait a few sec and the mirror will reset
7) put it back in R to test
