The antenna is designed as an OEM part for Mercedes vehicles, meaning it offers a perfect fit for factory mounting brackets and the intended installation location. It has an assigned manufacturer part number and interchangeable numbers that allow for unambiguous identification of the component in service catalogs.

To ensure you are selecting the correct part for your car, it is advisable to compare the OEM part number and reference numbers with your vehicle's documentation or information from the service system. The VIN number can also be helpful in verifying the antenna's compatibility with your specific equipment configuration.

Characteristics of a Used Part

The offered Bluetooth antenna is a dismantled part and is classified as a used component. In practice, this means its original construction and operating parameters are preserved, while offering a more favorable purchase price compared to a new part. This type of component is particularly attractive for repairs of comfort electronics where compatibility with factory equipment is crucial.

For dismantled antennas, it is important that they retain their factory shielding, connectors, and operating characteristics as intended by the manufacturer, which reduces the risk of interference and range issues. Before installation, a standard visual inspection of connectors and wires for mechanical damage is recommended.
