Yo bro! I really don't know much with your car's antenna function but mine's is for the GPS locator of the car, but you have to subscribe with MB to get this activated. Mine is not active since I don't want to pay for the service. So basically, mine is pure aesthetic. Come to think of it, I have an option on the MB radio for the integrated phone but the phone is not there physically plus I have a button for the SOS in case of an accident (again you have to subscribe to MB for it). Maybe the integrated phone also using my antenna.
By the way, did your sharks fin antenna came factory installed from the dealer? Do you have a pic of it? Now I am getting a lot of info and insights in this forum. This is good to know!

UPDATE:
So as usual murphys law crushed my soul AGAIN..... I have been waiting for the AMG trunk badge that I had ordered and had received confirmation that it had FINALLY been delivered but when I went out to my mail box..... NOTHING
I called the post office and they informed me that it is supposed to be in my parcel box which requires a key and the key should be in my regular mail box. I had already checked my mail box but decided I would check again, maybe somehow I missed it (not likely but worth a shot). I checked my mail box and realized there is a gap in the back just big enough for the key to fall behind 
, OF COURSE...... So I asked when they could come out and retrieve the key for me to which they replied it would have to be during their regular delivery shift and of course I am working swing shift currently so I will have to wait until tomorrow to get my badge. SIGH, I have already been waiting for 13 days for something that was supposed to take 4 days at the MAX, I guess what's another 24 hours right??? I am going to be PISSED if I don't have my badge tomorrow morning 
I will keep you guys updated on my trunk badge saga and post pics of the actual badge IF I get it.....

I thought about debadging mine but I just couldn't do it to one of 3,850 C43's in the world. Can't allow a piece of AMG history BLEND in with any old C class, it's just not right IMO. I do understand the sleeper aspect...

I agree with 503C43 ////AMG. Why take out the ////AMG when it actually belongs there? A lot of people are dying to put this badge on their cars knowing their cars isn't one. You should be proud to display it because the car is an original ////AMG. I was tempted to put that ////AMG badge in my 2000 C230 Kompressor but did not push through thinking: "Who am I kidding?" I think, I just have to buy a real ////AMG in the future.
On the other hand, DRBC43AMG's opinion of debadging his car is COOL too in the sense that his car is very modest and humble and if some crazy showoff on the road acts like the king of the road, then he can eat DRBC43AMG's dust when he floors his accelerator. Way to go man!
