Can anyone with a .2 GT3 and the base radio confirm that the car came without the roof wart? Someone posted in another thread that you still get the wart, but I can't understand why that would be the case and, if it is, I'm wondering why I'm seeing all these pics of GT3s with no wart.

I was told the “wart” is for the navigation system

can't confirm 100% but I think US cars come with standard sat radio as standard=roof wart even w/ base radio

I think.....


another reason why opted for radio delete lol

In previous models nav is in the rear view mirror housing
wart has been for sat radio

All US 991.2 GT3's will have the roof wart.

That sucks. Why? Is there sat nav in the base Sound Package Plus system? If so, I might opt for Bose. You can't do radio delete in the U.S. anymore due to the back up camera requirement, correct?

neurotic

yes and no

roof wart is for sat radio (someone can confirm this?)
you CAN get radio delete if your build is prior to May 2018 as cars produced AFTER May will require a backup camera (stupid US regulation for grandma's safety)

Fark! That bites.

Only way to delete roof wart on US .2 GT3 is to select the radio delete option.

neurotic

no biggie, get radio del

drive around and pretend you are in a F1 LM car

Bose system. Roof wart.

Save your money and skip the bose and inside wart.

Nothing to do with Bose. It's the satellite radio that the geniuses at PNA decided should be standard equipment (probably received money from the satellite company to include it - helps promote satellite subscriptions after the introductory free period expires).

When I was at the factory, the employees mentioned that only North American cars had a hole in the metal roof skin for this antenna to pass through - they were horrified that we had to have that.

Can anyone confirm that radio delete does indeed get rid of this?

neurotic

do what he says

I listened

GrantG

Did you get radio delete or just the standard non-Bose radio? If the latter, prepare for roof wart...
