I too am not liking the roof "wart." so I checked with dealer and they told me that the roof "wart" was required for satallite radio AND PCM navagation. Not having the Sat radio is possible but no nav is a problem. I know I can get nav on my phone but reading maps and direct from the PCM is much easier and safer.

It never fails to amaze me how clueless some of these people are about the product they sell....
As far as SAT radio itself is concerned, I prefer the quality and programming from streaming audio services like Pandora.

Bottom line, if xm is not your thing, you get a smooth baby's ***. Xm is a plus for resale, IMO...not that I plan to sell this car. Visually, I could care less. F1 and LMP1&2 cars have attennai warts. They are beautiful.

Not on my build. I've never been a fan of satellite radio and if I was, there are apps on the iPhone that can pipe content through bluetooth.
Too, bridges interrupt Sat. radio on a regular basis and it's annoying.

Your dealer is dead wrong about the roof wart and PCM/NAV. It is required only for SAT radio. I have PCM/NAV and a clean roof.

My 2015 just arrived at port on the Kentucky Highway. I tried to cancel the wart. I was to late, it was on the line already. I just can't get passed the look, it drives me crazy. The lines without it are so beautiful. I'll live, the car will be awesome, just wish I had been quicker!

Sat quality is definitely inferior to even FM radio.
My Escalade had DVD-Audio which was the best quality I've heard, followed by CD, lossless compressed iPhone/digital/built-in hard drive, then streaming audio (Spotify, Pandora, slacker, last.fm), FM, XM then AM
