too bad they couldn't move the climate control and other buttons where the radio was and then actually remove the lower front console completely.

Great place to put your TraqMate display.

Is this for the RS? Which delete options will be available in the US? Can we delete Radio and A/C?

Yes, for the RS. I don't know about the US, though.

That 996 RS pictured above has a/c delete, not radio delete.
