Couple of comments/questions

Looked today to see where the cell/Tele Aid/GPS antenna was located. Could not find it. Anyone have a clue??
Also found thet the slot in between the cup holders is perfect for temp. storage of credit cards and receipts. Very handy but I do not know the actual purpose of it. I also do not know why they designed the cup holders so the the middle section between them can be lifted out. I do miss the dash cup holders on my W163. They were great.

It's a multiple antenna module mounted under the rear part of the roof.

Antenna location

[QUOTE=Wolfgang]It's a multiple antenna module mounted under the rear part of the roof.
Is it in the rear panel of the roof, or the rear lip spoiler?

I believe it's meant for storing parking garage tickets.

That would explain why that is a separate panel from the rest of the roof. It must be plastic, then?

It's called the antenna roof module and yes it is mounted under the cover at the rear of the roof. It's made of fiberglass and is sealed on, so never try to remove it because it be ruined and have to be replace with a new one.

The cup holder divider is actually call "card holder" that's what it was designed to be. Both the U.S 164's & 251's have them, BUT the 251's have a bottle opener in the underside. Both are made to remove so you can then pull out the rubber bottom in the cup holders for easy clean up.
