Audio 50 Headunit, but GPS antenna on roof?
Been researching OEM retrofits for Comand APS and the navigation system. I thought the "shark fin" antenna on the rood of my car was for bluetooth, but this is actually the factory GPS antenna?
Now I am confused. My car is a 2004 model, Audio 50 w/ cassette and in-dash CD changer up front and no AUX in the glovebox. Does the presence of my OEM roof antenna mean it's prewired for GPS or something?

Instead of being immaturely ignorant, maybe you would realize that some cars (not just MB) come with phone pre-wiring/SOS/Tele-Aid systems which use the roof mounted shark-fin for signal reception. That is what I meant, not specifically BT, despite that's what it is commonly referred to.

is the shark fin the only type of roof antenna offered in 2004?
All 2003 and 2004 were pre-wired for cell phone, so it wouldn't be surprising if they pre-wired gps as well.

I still do not see the point of either of your posts. You clearly have nothing constructive to add to the thread. Do you honestly have nothing better to do than troll others? You're not doing a good job of even that, it's quite sad.
But - do carry on. It's quite entertaining.

The sad part is that you can't fathom the fact that you're a moron.
I have nothing constructive to add?? Don't put me on the same boat as you, I know the car a lot better than you, so STFU.
