It's been done before by at least one SLK owner and reported on one of the MB forums. I believe he reported less reception which makes sense. Nothing wrong with keeping the factory antenna if you want performance. I don't use AM-FM so I could care less, but I don't like the reduced range on my SmartTop module. I plan to add another "stealth" antenna to improve range.
