I've got an aftermarket radio now, so it uses just the FM antenna, I used this cable for the backup camera signal

Do you have a video on how to install FM/AM Antenna Extension to Antenna amplifier? I changed my head unit to an aftermarket and need to connect to the Antenna amplifier to have FM/AM. Thanks in advance.

Regards.Where is located the fuse for this antenna amplifier? There is no signal at all, some times work and for no reason stop. By the way, very good videos. You help a lot to the people. Thanks in advance.

nice video. I have a question for you... I have GL550 with Command 2.5, fiber out to Harman Kardon and Sirius radio. Command 2.5 has white double fakra but it doesn't connected to any wire. I didn't find any cables to connect. How the antenna connected to Head unit? Any idea? I found Sirius radio under second raw seats: fiber comes to it, double white and single blue fakra also connected to it.

Thank you for the video. 2006 ML350 key work at close range to the RF in the door handle only and not all the time. New key, new battery, all fuses are good. Don't want just to throw parts at the car. Do you think this is what I need to change next? Thank in advance and sorry if I'm repeating other questions.

Great video! I'm getting a "sound unavailable" on my '04 S500 radio screen. So I ordered a lollipop loop to bypass the nav, tele and amp. Turns out after bypassing amp the radio channels started working but still no sound. Ordered a replacement used amp. Same problem. I'm in Massachusetts, are you able to help me out. Thanks, Dino-

This is great. Is this is FM amplifier? All my other audio works fine. And does this video apply to the 2003 ML350. I've seen some videos that say the amp is in the cockpit on the driver's side under the carpet. But there have been a lot of changes in the newer ML's.
@iRepairAutos6 жыл бұрын
+Darnedifino this is the fm/sat amplifier. In some years the audio amplifier is in the cockpit. But not the antenna amplifier.
@darnedifino29726 жыл бұрын
Thanks. So, since all my other sound works fine, including the AM radio, do you think I can assume my problem is the antenna amp?
@iRepairAutos6 жыл бұрын
+Darnedifino It could be the fuse for the antenna amp. It could be the connections, check both ends (radio/amp) or a break in between. You can use a volt meter in continuity mode to see if the antenna cable has a short.

Hello, I retrofitted a audio 20 ntg 2.5 into my slk r171 preface lift model. Now I have problem with my radio reception. I checked the cables and it seems ok. In the star das I have antenna 1 open circuit fault. The antenna is connected with a y splitter in order to have both fm and am. The most strength station is 73db. Is that normal?? Do you have any idea???? Thank you
@iRepairAutos6 жыл бұрын
You may have a damaged cable between the radio and the splitter. Make sure that the antenna port on the radio is properly connected to the antenna cable. I would use a voltmeter in conductivity mode to check both sides of the cable. Most likely the connection end nearest the radio is damaged. It may have gotten damaged when taking out the old radio and putting in the current one. Good luck. Let me know what you find.

Hi, your video help me hughly; Thank you. My 2007 ML320 has a problem the with the radio. the radio works well in every aspect other than the radio all there is now is static. I have been adviced that the problem may be a borken coax where it passes into the tailgate. have you had a similar problem or know the fix? Gary
@iRepairAutos9 жыл бұрын
you will need to remove the radio from the dashboard and check to see if the antenna coax is connected. If it is connected I would disconnect the antenna wire and check the continuity in this wire (you will need a volt meter). If the wire is good (including ground) then you might want to check the connections on the antenna amplifier (see this video)

Re:2004 Ml500: My Navi is off course, although it does regognize my movements and my FM comes in occasionally but most of the time you can only hear it if u turn up volume to max. AM works fine and Navi voice works fine. My thought is to replace the entire system but if it's a fairly simple fix I would try that. Do u have any idea what caused this and what's the best repair. Thanks for your time:)

@iRepairAutos8 жыл бұрын
+Prisca Virgo If your antenna amplifier is not working properly you will experience your radio stations audio to have static and or not very good reception . I tend to buy my parts from online auction sites as long as the part numbers match. If not I go to the local dealership and get it there. To test your amplifier, start by making sure that your cables are connected properly. You should be able to hear stations coming in. If you disconnect the amplifier (pre-amplifier) If the amplifier is working the signal strength will drop. If it is not working there will be no change at all. You also need to check the voltage levels coming to the amplifier with a volt meter to make sure that it is getting power. If not your fuse may be blown. Good luck!

For a W163 (this video is a different model) the AMFM Amp is located in the same place (tailgate). Your problem is most likely going to be the coaxial antenna wire that breaks inside it's sheath from the stress of opening and closing the tailgate. (Right/passenger side)

+no comment I'm guessing that you have the harman kardon package. This system uses fiber optics to communicate with the amplifier. It might be cheaper to replace the amplifier with a good one (exact replacement) than trying to bypass (rewire) this closed system to work without it.
