Default What is this


Just picked up my 997.2 c4s and this is installed on the dash. What is it?/what is it for?

My guess would be a transponder of some sort. Probably velcored on.

Is that a wire peeking out to the left rear?
Sat antenna. Maybe for a XM tuner?
Other wise......if it were red...

I vote satellite radio ant as well. The model I used in my old '05 Boxster S looked exactly the same.

I think it’s one of those boxes that records and reports every activity the driver does (speed, g force, turning without signalling).

Zook is right. Don’t touch it. It’s illegal to remove.

Enjoy your new 911!!!

Default Thanks

Thanks for the reply’s. The car doesnindeed have satellite radio capability though I’m not subscribing to it. Perhaps that is indeed what it is.
