Antenna Location (FM Modulator)

quick question here...figured someone could help me...I need to put an FM Modulator in 2 different Mercedes (for an XM radio). I know fm modulator are sub-par but the owner wont budge.

I cant find the antenna to plug the modulator in...

one is a 2000 S430 and one is a 2003 E55 AMG...

does anyone know where i can find the antenna connection to plug the modulator in?

I've heard numerous things...in the trunk...in the glovebox, etc...but i cant find anything solid...any help is appreciated...

Thanks!!!

If you're having trouble finding the connector on the S-class, no disrespect intended, you may want to leave the E55 alone, and leave those sorts of things to people with more experience with Mercedes. There's a lot you can mess up if you aren't completely sure what you are doing.
