What's on the trunk of this car?
This is a US 2008 Designo.

It appears to have a panno roof and the "normal" antenna by the rear window/roofline.

Any idea what the other antenna-looking thing is on the trunk lid? Seems I've seen similar on trunks before combining Nav and satelite radio antennas, but why on nearly the 250,000th S550 off the line?

See pics. Zoom in.

All ideas appreciated; I am clueless.

Thanks.

Roof mount = GPS/telephone, trunk mount = satellite radio
