$107 for A170 820 06 75 MB Antenna! Please Help!

My dealer in West Covina, CA! I know people are paying about $50 - $60 for these, while my dealer wants over $98 before taxes.

Anyone know where is the best place to buy A170 820 06 75 MB Antenna in south California?

Anyone have a phone number from a better-priced dealer I can call?

Call MB of Westminster at 303-410-7800 and ask for the parts dept. A couple of years ago, they were selling it for $55 and they give a 10% discount for anyone that asked, shipping to Cali should be less than $5. The price probably went up a bit but doubt if it's $107.

Really, it's half the size of the old one, the r170 looks much better IMO.

The Navi uses a different antenna so it will not affect it, AM was affected a lot but FM wasn't for me, the key fob range will be affected as well, but with modification on the short antenna, the key fob range will be better than the long whip and so will AM/FM reception. It only takes a few minutes to mod.

r170 looks better in my opinion, it's 1/3 shorter

r170 antenna


2009 antenna

09 antenna

Just threw it on ... its a direct swap ... (onto a 06 SLK55)

price ...

30 bucks Btw don't spam me on where. Its good to have connections!

Btw Ynot's picture several posts above is NOT the 09 antenna. The 09 antenna does NOT need a key to lock it down like the previous whip antenna or the one in the pictures.
The 09 antenna was smooth all the way around at the bottom (no indents). Also it is smooth surface across the whole antenna. It does not have indents a 1/3 of the way up. It is extremely flexible and not hard plastic.
