I am pretty sure my OEM radio should work better on AM than it does, so maybe the amp is out if AM and Central Locking use the same amp.
FM reception is GREAT, though.
Bob,
Here's some more info on the antenna amplifiers (Click on the Page 13191, Page 13192, Page 13193, Page 13194 links on the left for more pages on this topic): https://workshop-manuals.com/mercede...creen_antenna/
I see that many are for other markets. I appear to have antennas in both side windows, and of course, there is a tiny rubber-ducky antenna on the back hatch glass I assumed was for the built in cell phone installation.
Not sure which is which and for what, unfortunately, but I will study the linked diagram to see what can learn, however.
I know this is an old thread but my fm and am radio reception is really bad in that i can only pick up a few channels, my key fob is fine and central looking works as it should.
im try to locate the antenna amplifier to see if it’s causing the problem, does any body know where it’s hidden?

Same problem here - everything okay except FM and AM radio signal very poor. I tried fitting a 'universal' after market antenna which works fine until key position 2 when there's loads of interference. As I can't fix the new antenna properly, I'm wondering if it is the amplifier - but which one, and where is it??
Thanks in advance.
