Installed Sirius Antenna (smaller version) Pics
I just got the MBZ factory Sirius unit installed like others on the board. The problem I had was I hated that large older antenna and also have tinted windows so I couldn't do the stealth install under the deck lid.
Mercedes still uses the old Sirius double output antenna wire so I got the Terk adapter the goes from the double wire to single and was able to use a much smaller antenna. I had to mount it on the roof because the tint on my rear window killed the reception and the antenna didnt look good IMO on the trunk.

Here's two spots that Randall at AutoWerks came up with. One is rather custome and needs some paint as it is cut in to the grill. The other is probably even better up in the mirror cover.

How is the stealth install on your SIRIUS antenna doing? Any problems with the reception?
We went to the LA Auto Show yesterday and loved listening to the satellite programming, but they had the noticeably large antenna (unpainted) bolted to the trunk lid of a silver E55.
I'd be interested in your experience.
