I'm confused about antennas

OK...I've looked all over these forums and don't see a straight answer, so I'll ask a straight question.

I've got an '02 SLK320 and I want to put the SL antenna mast on it. I just want to know if I want the mast from an R230 or R129.

Can I just change to the stubby mast or do I need to change the actual antenna connector as well?

Help me...my brain has fallen and it can't get up.

Thank you in advance

If you are referring to the antenna that looks like the stock SLK with the flexible part cut off, then there is an SLK version that is just screwed in place of the stock mast. That is the European version of the antenna. You can order it online, or possibly from a Mercedes parts department.

A word of warning, if you live even remotely far from the source you will notice a significant decrease in signal. I live 30 minutes outside SF and I lost half of my stations. I ended up reverting to the stock antenna.
