I told the parts guy that this was posted here and to expect a number of orders. I was the second this week.

Just been on to MB - they quoted £20.09 +VAT (so about $45USD). Just out of interest has anybody compared the performance of this stub antenna against having no antenna at all?
Tempted to buy this part but still not sure - I mean there must be a reason why MB fitted the ugly 'whip-like' one on a brand new model, mustn't there?

MB have just got back to me and advise that the A170 820 0675 antenna is design principally to be a car telephone antenna. They have concerns that COMAND/radio reception may not be as good with it fitted - also they are not sure that TMC (when it arrives here in England next year) may not work.

Just ordered (hopefully) the part.
The problem is that as of yesterday, only 4 of these were showing as available in Germany.
I'll know either Monday or Tuesday if there is one left for me.
Guess we'll have to wait and see.

I show 100 in Germany now so there shouldn't be a problem in filling your order. Just bare with us as parts from Germany take awhile to get and are kind of sporadic. We should have a couple coming in on stock with your order also.
My question is where did you find this part???? For the life of me I can't find this in any cataloge. Thanks

Just to show "it all depends..."
On Porsche's new Cayman S the exterior long whip antenna is an option you have to pay for AND it's on the front ( right fender near the windshield)!
