As a GPS engineer for the MarineCorps and the Navy for 25 years, you need a fairly wide antenna for your GPS nav. The Sat radio may
be able to use a smaller antenna but if you want accurate quickly updated GPS you need that little wart. Even if you put a GPS based
data recorder for you track days you need something of a GPS antenna of that size.
So if you want that type data you need that little guy. In the grand scheme of things its not going to slow you down for anything anyone
here does. Most all cars have them now and I think for a multi use antenna its nice looking. Look at a modern fighter jet-its covered with
antennas and some arent very stealthy

Nothing to do with Nav - It's the Sirius/XM Satellite Radio
We should be able to have base/Bose/Burmester stereo with Nav and rear camera and still not have the wart, as long as we don't want Satellite radio (which we can't delete without deleting all the rest and soon won't even have that option)

GPS is #8 and the sat rad wart is #6. My car is a Feb build, I still want the wart deleted.

I though all 991.2 models, Carreras, GT3s, etc, now automatically come with Porsche Connect, for traffic, news, find my car, etc, also WiFi.
Is the wart needed for that?

No, the wart isn't needed for that. LTE antenna is up in front, like the GPS antenna. Look at the ROW cars, no wart and they have the same infotainment system. Just no sat radio. In NA we are just so special we get the F%&$ing wart.

my car will be a MY 2019, so complete radio delete is not an option. I could care less about satellite radio.
I gotta find a way to delete the wart via Exclusive or something else. I would seriously pay thousands to delete the wart.

thanks, So the wart is only for satellite radio radio then?

Here's the PET from the 991.2, shows the GPS antenna up front and the antenna in the back is just the sat radio.

I have had my car for almost 2 weeks and you soon forget the wart is there. It starts to just blend in. And I was much hesitant in the beginning because I do not want the wart nor do I care for satellite rdio
