its difficult to get the receiver to come in when i have it inside but that is partially because i don't have the antenna placed properly or outside.

again, having to place the antenna on the car roof with the cable strung through the window is a pain.

reception is solid in the car, but the home kit i bought seemed to have a less sensitive antenna.
from www.amazon.com
the antenna is also finicky sometimes when you drive under a bridge in traffic or through a mcdonalds drive-thru, but it's bearable and a necessary evil.

i opted to connect to my car stereo via the aux input rather than the fm antenna method.

using the fm connect kit (which isn't included and costs extra) to the antenna can be problematic.

from www.crutchfield.com
after reading the reviews, i decided to tape the antenna cable into the adapter, and into the radio as well, as it doesn't fit as tight as you would think.
from www.crutchfield.com
even the antenna plug was proper for the mercedes factory cable - an adaptor would have been necessary on other brand head units.
from www.crutchfield.com
another slight annoyance is the placement of the rear usb input in relation to the antenna connector.
from www.crutchfield.com
i had some issues at first, but realized the antenna adapters had come loose.

the installation was easy, routing the antenna was the most difficult part.

this was easy to install -- the hardest part was carefully running the antenna wire to the unit from the rooftop mag-mount antenna.

the longest part of the install was finding a route for the antenna wire.
