I am looking to set up a wifi hotspot for the passengers. Would like to connect my wireless broadband modem to the vehicle's antenna. Can anyone suggest how to do this?

I don't want to use the MB branded hotspot equipment because of the following limitations:
- only 3 wifi devices
- slow modem - the Sierra Wireless Air Card I wish to use is much faster.

I have the Bluetooth cradle already - ideally I would connect the modem to the antenna while leaving the bluetooth cradle operational (for the driver's regular phone).

If only possible without the BT remaining operational, maybe there's a generic "cradle" for phones that don't have a specific cradle manufactured where one may connect a phone to the antenna?

Any crazy ideas welcome.

What car is this for?
I suggest trying to use the antenna splitter mercedes would use in their kit and will try and find part number.

Thanks for that - part number would be appreciated.

The vehicle is a 2007 R Class.

In car hot spot kit from Mercedes for ML class (same as R basically!!) contains

A212 901 6202 Control unit, InCar Hotspot;
A212 820 8889 Aerial splitter;
B6 782 4100 Electric wiring harness;
A212 820 9013 Aerial cable;
B6 782 4101 Mount for InCar Hotspot;
Operating instructions, licence agreement, small parts

I suggest you need the Aerial splitter and probably the Aerial cable
