Mercedes GLK antenna issues

My 2011 Mercedes GLK diesel is throwing errors The car thinks the bumper antenna is toast, there's an error stored, unlocking and locking are acting up, and I can't start it without the key jammed in the ignition I suspect a dodgy cable or plug connection to the antenna Repair is estimated around 95€ Has anyone dealt with similar vehicle antenna or radio signal issues I'm thinking antenna replacement but I’m not sure where to start

That sounds familiar I had something similar happen with my GLK The symptoms sound pretty much the same Did you check the connections yourself It might be worth poking around before you commit to an antenna replacement Could save you some money

I had a quick look at the connections, but I'm no expert Where exactly did you find the problem in yours Was it obviously corroded, or was it more subtle Any specific areas to check for the radio signal or anything related to the car radio

Honestly, I'm not super technical either I didn’t dig too deep myself I just vaguely remember it being mentioned that it was the antenna I took it to a workshop, they sorted it out pretty quickly Maybe best to get it checked to be on the safe side Don't want to mess with the electrics

Thanks for the advice I took it to a local shop and you were right, they confirmed it was the bumper antenna cable They sorted out the antenna repair, and the whole thing cost me 95€, error is gone and everything's working as it should Much appreciated
