Now who knows where it is. Anybody have one or know where I can get one of these things? That hole drives me nuts. Thanks

Late 190s deleted the antenna switch, thus you had a blanking plate.

I think any 91 or later 190 will also come with the same blank.

Possibly, since the switch size looks similar to a W123, an early W123 upper console blank would sub in.

Alternative is to get a spare switch and just stick it in the hole.....

In either event, you need to pull the panel off to replace the blank (or switch), I think it just pulls straight off, but it's been 15 years since I've had a 190.... Of course, once you have pulled of the panel, why not not just reach in an try to recover your original blank?
