GPS Antenna

Sorry if this is a reposted question, I searched all 171 threads, with 1058 posts and couldn't find it specifically answered...

... Is the stock antenna that comes with a barebones US 2005 C230SS (no teleaid or nav) GPS capable? ( i.e., can I somehow splice a connection to it from my Garmin Street Pilot III?).

If not, where is the stock GPS antenna usually mounted?

Thanks in advance for any guidance (no pun intended).

i dont think so. if i were you i would leave it. an aftermarket GPS antenna you can mount under the dash where they are mounted 90% of the time anyhow.

I asked my dealer b/c I have the Garmin iQue 3600 and they said not from MB.
If you find any aftermarket solutions, please let us know.

I'd be all for that but under the dash? How does it get a signal?

I thought that was the nav antennae on the back? don't the pre-05s not have them? I hate the way that hole in the roof wing just has it poking through...

The GPS antenna (only if you have Comand or Teleaid or both) is glued on top edge of the rear window and is about 1 1/2" tall. It would be really hard to retrofit the factory GPS antenna if you didn't already have one, that's why people put them under the dash for Comand or on the rear parcel shelf for Sat radio.
