What type of GPS connector does the MCS accept??? Is it an HRS connector or a WICLIC connector??? Or is it something completely different?

As far as Comand goes, it doesn't need a specific 163 GPS antenna part... I used a 203 GPS antenna that costs less than $50. Just a thought.
As posted earlier, the COMAND and MCS both use the same Hirose HRS GT5 connector.

I agree that it's easier to use the 203 antenna. If someone wants the look of the mini-whip antenna, go ahead and mount either an OEM M-klasse version, or an OEM W203 version (no GPS in it). Then use the underdash antenna which is OEM for W203, W209, W211, W220, etc.
