Purpose and fitment for Mercedes W221

The presented Mercedes W221 Roof Antenna Aerial Shark Iridium Silver Metallic 775 has been designed specifically for this generation of S-Class sedans. The "shark" housing shape is tailored to the roof profile, which allows for a cohesive body appearance and proper routing of cables and mounts in the rear zone of the vehicle.

Placement on the rear part of the roof promotes even signal distribution and reduces interference caused by other components. As a result, the antenna supports the stable operation of factory signal reception systems, in accordance with the vehicle manufacturer's specifications.

Iridium Silver Metallic – 775 color and body integration

The antenna housing is finished in Iridium Silver Metallic – 775, one of the characteristic paint colors used in higher-class Mercedes models. This shade allows for a harmonious match with a body of the same color, minimizing visual differences between the component and the roof.

Thanks to the factory paint finish, the antenna blends well with the roofline without disrupting the vehicle's aerodynamics or styling. This solution is particularly beneficial when replacing a damaged antenna with a component of a similar color finish, without the need for additional painting.

Technical characteristics and rear roof mounting

The antenna belongs to the Car antennas group and is adapted for mounting in the rear zone of the vehicle's roof. This location promotes:

• achieving favorable operating conditions for the antenna in the upper part of the body,
• reducing the impact of interference generated by the engine and electrical installation at the front of the car,
• easier routing of wiring harnesses along the headliner.

This solution is consistent with the manufacturer's factory concept, which facilitates installation in place of the original component and ensures proper roof sealing.

Used condition and benefits of choosing OEM parts

The offered antenna is a used component, which allows for an economical replacement while maintaining the original manufacturer's specifications. Choosing OEM parts from disassembly is beneficial wherever structural compatibility, proper fit to the roof, and maintaining the vehicle's factory appearance are important.

Before installation, it is recommended to perform a standard verification of the antenna installation in the vehicle, including the condition of cables and connectors, to fully utilize the capabilities of the offered component and ensure stable signal reception.

Support in choosing used parts
