But the antenna goes right in FRONT and ABOVE the instrument cluster, not between it and the vents.

Pull the instrument cluster out using the cluster hooks. Insert the hooks into the slots in the front, then turn them towards each other 1/4 turn. That should release the cluster and let you pull it out.

Look back into the dash where the cluster is, you should see a plastic housing in the dash. The antenna goes between this plastic and the dash material. The Mercedes instructions say:

The opening in the GPS antenna must point in the direction of the top side of the dashboard. The antenna line points in the direction of the steering wheel.

Hope that is helpful.

Cluster Hooks?

I am also installing the GPS antenna and would like to know where you get the cluster hooks to remove the cluster?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

dealership, ebay, samstagsales.com, make them from metal coat hangers, or push the instrument cluster out from behind (least likely to cause damage if you have an older CLK with the sissy vinyl covering the dashboard).
