Mercedes E Klasse Bumper Antenna Issue
Summary of the thread
A 2018 Mercedes E Klasse hybrid is experiencing issues with the bumper antenna, leading to intermittent unlocking, locking, and starting problems. The problem is likely due to a faulty or loose antenna connection. The suggested solution is to inspect the antenna mount and wiring harness for corrosion or looseness, but ultimately, professional repair is recommended. The issue was resolved with a workshop repair of the faulty connector.

Radio reception seems fine actually. Where exactly is the antenna mount located? Is it easy to get to, or am I going to have to pull the whole bumper off?

Mine was fine too. It's probably the connection then. Honestly, I just took mine to a shop. Didn't want to mess with the bumper. Best to let the pros handle it.

I had a look and couldn't easily find the antenna connector, so I took your advice and booked it into the workshop. They confirmed it was a faulty connector and did an antenna repair. Bill came to 95€. Sorted now!

I had something similar happen on my E Klasse! I was losing my mind. Check the antenna mount and wiring harness. Could be corroded or loose. Is your car radio reception also whack?
