Exterior Antennas for Mercedes-Benz G500

The antenna on your Mercedes is a big part of your vehicle’s functionality. Even with a top-of-the-line stereo system, an antenna is necessary to ensure that your car receives a quality signal even when you venture off-road. Here are some tips for choosing an exterior antenna for your Mercedes-Benz G Class vehicle.

• Car radio antennas: A new Mercedes-Benz G550 will come with a preinstalled radio antenna. Most manufacturers fit a flat, window-mounted or monopole-whip antenna on their vehicles. The standard antenna on your Mercedes-Benz can be stationary, or it might retract when you operate the radio. When replacing the antenna on your vehicle, it helps to know the design of the original stock antenna it had.
• Satellite radio antennas: A satellite radio uses wavelengths from geostationary satellites, and so this type of antenna will be different from a terrestrial radio antenna. A satellite radio antenna will be significantly smaller than the regular radio antenna on your G63 AMG, G-Wagen, or another vehicle.
• Car TV antennas: Broadcast television will boost the comfort and luxury of your Mercedes-Benz G Class’s interior, but that will require a dedicated antenna. Digital TV is on the UHF spectrum, and so the antenna you choose should operate on a similar spectrum.

Stock antennas have a lifespan of about four to six years. Therefore, if you have never installed a new antenna on your Mercedes-Benz within that time, it is probably a good time to start thinking about a replacement.

FM signals are strong, and an old antenna may still pick up a few of them. To tell if the signal on your Mercedes-Benz SUV is out of focus, try setting the radio to AM. If it doesn’t pick up a station, then your antenna needs replacement. In other instances, the signal can pop in and out, which indicates a problem with the mast. Apart from old age, the mast on your G Class radio antenna can corrode or break due to exposure to the elements. Check the tip of your G Class car antenna to see if it’s intact.

Yes, regardless of whether your Mercedes-Benz G500 came with a motorized car-radio antenna or not, it is possible to get one when replacing it. A motorized antenna is a convenient item that extends itself when the radio turns on and retracts when it goes off. The advantage of having a motorized antenna on your AMG vehicle is a minimized risk of damage from vandals or lousy weather.

Whether or not your AMG needs an adapter when installing a new antenna will depend on the vehicle model. Check your SUV manual or consult a professional to find out if an adapter is necessary.
