What is this??!?!?!?!

Its just hanging in the back behind the bumper support. What is the function of this? Honestly this is the first time I seen this. My audi a6 had back up sensors and a **** load behind the back bumper but it did not have these.

Hmmmm,... weird item with wires,.... its a BOMB!!!


Usually,... any Mercedes-Benz part would have a Mercedes-Benz part number stamped on it,...

I think that part is Tele-Aid antenna - Mercedes-Benz Part Number A203-820-16-75,... usually there's 2.

BTW,... if your car does not have Tele-Aid,.... then hit the deck and take cover!

Generally,... all Mercedes-Benz part number use the following format A###-###-##-##,... sometimes followed by a few more digits usually more digits to signify colour options,..... of course there has been exceptions as there are to every rule

Thus your 921 ### 005 is likely for something else,.... you should find also A203-820-16-75 stamped on it or something similar to it.
