SLK55NEWB

I am picking up the Sl Antennae from the dealership to install. Is it a simple twist off and install or will I need tools?


Thanks in advance!

No tools required unless the stock antenna is really screwed on too tight. I should know because I had our sales guy demonstrate w/ an SL55 & the SLK55 in the showroom .

If you don't mind me asking, how much did you buy the SL antenna? I forgot to ask our sales guy since I was too distracted at how great it looked on the SLK.

The install was as simple as it could be. Twist off the old and twist on the new. Paid a little under $120.

I am a little disappointed for 2 reasons but the change may make them bearable.

1. The black SL has a high gloss look so the flat black look of the base and the high gloss isn't a perfect match. The car does look cleaner and looks quite better.

2. A significant decrease in radio reception and remote key range. I don't listen to the radio too often and the range on the remote key is still about 15-20 yards.


I will live with the SL antennae for now until i see a need for the radio. Hopefully, a genius who understands RF technology is reading this and provides a better resolution.

Best Regards!
