AM, FM, DAB and TV aerials are phantom powered.  
The phantom supply (approx. 12 V) is used for  
supplying power to the impedance converter and the  
diagnostic function.  
The illustration above shows an FM2 aerial by way of example.

Plug connection  
The GPS aerial is secured with an adhesive pad. The  
internal electronics are powered via the phantom  
supply (5 V).

Earth pin with  
body earth  
The AM, FM, TV and DAB aerials need antenna  
mounts that are located inside the doors. To ensure a  
perfect earth connection to the doors, the doors have  
an earth connection to the body earth via a separate  
earth cable.  
Interference in the AM reception area is minimised in  
accordance with the vehicle equipment by installing  
an AM filter for all electrical connections to  
components that are located inside the exterior  
mirror (exterior mirror heater, adjustment, etc.).  
The AM filter is part of the door cable kit.  
The AM aerial is always located in the left exterior  
mirror, therefore no filter is required on the right side.
