Exterior Antennas for Mercedes-Benz 190E

Exterior antennas for Mercedes-Benz 190E serve many functional and entertainment-based purposes. From standard AM and FM, to satellite and GPS, there are many options to choose from. You can find a variety of antenna types for your 190E car, in many shapes and sizes.

What are antennas and what are the various kinds?

An antenna can be designed in a variety of ways, though each type works the same way. It is a specially made part that is designed to receive certain frequencies or transmissions from a transmitter that is located an unspecified distance away. When the antenna on your Mercedes vehicle receives these signals, it uses your Mercedes-Benz 190Es engine power to turn these frequencies into sound. When your cars engine receiver turns a frequency into sound, the sound is amplified through the cars speakers and radio.

There are many different types of antennas, in many different shapes and sizes. They are mostly categorized by the type of frequency they receive. The more common types of antennas for Mercedes-Benz and other vehicle models include the following:

  • Monopoles: The most common category of antennas is monopoles, also known as standard or whip antennas. These usually come stock on most Mercedes-Benz vehicles, regardless of year, and receive AM and FM frequencies. They can be rigid, flexible, or manually retractable. They may also move on an automatic track system.
  • Signal boosters and GPS: Signal-boosters work by receiving signals from local cell phone towers to boost your cell service while you drive your Mercedes-Benz 190E. GPS antennas are designed to receive signals from satellites to pinpoint your location.
  • Satellite/global: This type of antenna differs from monopoles in that it uses non-directional antennas. It receives signals from global satellites, to give your 190E a broader range of stations.
Where should your antenna be placed on your Mercedes-Benz?

Installing your antenna in a certain location on your Mercedes is essential to the parts performance. The location of your antenna is largely determined by its type. Monopoles should be installed on the exterior of the body, on the fender, trunk, roof, or hood. Satellite options can be installed in a wider range of locations, since they receive broader signals. It is essential to follow the installation location instructions for each antenna type.

How can you improve your Mercedes-Benz 190Es reception?

There are many ways to improve your Mercedes-Benz 190Es reception, aside from changing or replacing your antenna. If there are any damaged parts or connections between parts, the performance of the antenna will not be up to par. Once you have solved any technical issues in your vehicle, you can install signal boosters to help boost the range of your Mercedes-Benz.
