This should be the standard arrangement.
Did you install this yourself? If so, was it difficult?
Please advise.
Thanks!

There's been some talk about the R170 antenna working better if it is secured tightly almost to the point of stripping the threads. Well, I just wanted to say it did nothing for me.
Actually, it was kinda fun. Why? Because I was in just my boxers in the garage performing this task. It was early morning. My wife had left and returned opening the garage as I was parading around. Perfect timing as my neighbors were taking a morning walk and stared at me for a while. I know they usually are just checking out the car, but I think they were checking me out this time.

The top "interior layer" has to come down just a couple inches so you can reach in and connect the garage door opener. There should be a input for it. You should have no problem doing this in your own garage.

-Garage door opener
-Rain sensing wipers
-Auto Climate control
I didn't opt for it as I did not feel is was a good value. 1) My garage door opener is small and on my keychain. 2) I don't drive this car in the rain. 3) The climate control was of only real value and I didn't think it was worth $1470 by itself, especially since others have bought it for roughly $300 on ebay. I figured I could do the same if I so choose. I could also buy the garage door opener from MB if I wanted to get rid of the keychain remote.
I think the premium package makes more sense on the 280/350 models because you get more options for less money at $1200
-Garage door opener
-Rain sensing wipers
-Auto Climate control
-Interior Ambient Lighting (standard on the 55)
-Smartkey/Remote Roof (standard on the 55)
