Makes sense. This URL seems to be rather informative on the issue:

For what it's worth, they recommend 60k intervals even with platinum.
They should know what they're talking about; I believe they hold the
patent on plug electrodes with bonded solid platinum pads.

I was told they've discontinued Imperial Red in all models for 1999,
despite its popularity (especially in the C36 and C43).

It's an 800MHz system AFAIK; I looked between the roof liner and the
structure and the mount base is already prewired and mounted to the
roof. The head end is supposedly taped to the rear of the receiver.
