Unfortunately all radio and MP3s are overly compressed. A sad fact of life.

I didn't get the bump, so no SiriusXM. Streaming music from my phone and using Spotify playlists.
What is a good program to stream interesting radio content?

Try the Aha app.

That's my one driver to get the Sirius bump, but even Howard has gone to live shows just a coupled days a week, and most all of the shows are available via streaming in a Sirius app on your phone...

I'm inclined to remove the Sirius option to keep the wart off the roof. It's too bad that they didn't put the bump just above the spoiler like on the Turbo S I saw the other day. Much better location...

I believe the wing on the GT3 was causing some interference.

Another difference is that the vent lid on the Turbo S I saw didn't move when you opened the rear, unlike the GT3, so maybe it has something to do with dealing with the wiring routing on a moveable lid?

The wart will not affect lap times...lol

didn't get sat radio, specifically because of the bump/wart, and for me ipod is best for my uses anyway - both for music and news podcasts, etc.

if this car was a daily driver, I would definitely get it... talked to the dealer about resale, his feeling was that on a gt3, you could go either way without it causing problems later...

Mech33

Are folks really passing on satellite radio on daily driver GT3s because of the cosmetic bump? I could see it on a weekend or track car, but daily driver too? I'm so torn.

While I'm not a huge satellite radio guy , I probably would have gotten it but for the wart. Don't like the looks of it at all. If I loved satellite though I suspect I would have gotten it anyway.

the wart collects water underneath during washing, adding to washing time

I did not get it because of the wart, but mine is not a DD. If it were a DD, and I really wanted Sat Radio, I would probably buy a portable unit for $350 and plug it into the Aux port. I dislike the wart that much.

You can still do it through their app from your phone. Sirius XM App.

I thought originally I would want satellite radio, I have had it my other cars for 8 years. Then I realized the wart issue. After much thought I tried the streaming radio off the cell phone, like Pandora. As the others have testified the sound reproduction and quality is a HUGE improvement over sat radio, I didn't know what I was missing. I have been using the streaming radio for a week now and will never go back to the sat radio. Selection is better, easily varied, and the music reproduction is superior. I also was concerned about reception as my cell phone does not pick-up in a lot of areas very well. That proved to be a non-problem as Pandora came in loud and clear with no reception break-ups through the worst areas I normally experience for cell reception. The only issue is that it is only partially controlled through the radio head - I can live with that, though I ordered the "online services" option and hope that issue may improve. Thank you all on the board who encouraged the steaming radio through the cell phone!!! GT3 ordered, no wart...

Thats a great quote. Thanks for that.
