GPS/Cellular antenna?

I just took delivery of my (AWESOME!) C-coupe. I have both COMAND and the phone options and was expecting a GPS and/or cell antenna. All the systems work fine--but there's no obvious antenna. Are they hidden somewhere? I thought GPS had to be able to "see" the satellies to work. My 2000 ML320 had a GPS antenna on the roof right in front of the hatch. Anyone know?

Hmmm. Thanks. So I guess the stubby little antenna on some cars is for teleaid. I wonder why they couldn't just integrate (and hide) that too. Perhaps they need a different antenna for anti-theft tracking?(he said, speculatively)
