Trunk bump??
What's the bump/module on the center front of the trunk panel? I've seen that only some of the E55's have them...

Interesting. I would have thought the little fin at the top of the rear windshield was the satellite (mirrors one of my previous satellite radio cars). I suppose that turns the question to what said fin then?

Some people install them on or under the hat shelf in the rear window. The antenna will go through glass, fabric, plastic etc. Just not metal or metal oxide glass like my S600 back glass. I had to drill a hole.
