Looking at a used 997 C2S and I noticed it has an ugly antenna sticking out on the top of the rear windshield. Looks like something from a Jetta. The car has nav and I don't think sat but any idea on what that antenna is and more importantly if there is an aftermarket replacement that looks nicer

Thank you

 

That's gotta be aftermarket... Carrera S dont come with those..

here;s a pic of my previous one..

 

External antenna is an option....not sure why someone would want it though.

 

+1, it is a no charge option. No idea why any one would order it.

 

Here it is..wonder how it is affixed and how easily it comes off and with what marks on the roof...so silly

 

Love mine! I can put my styrofoam Jack in Box puppet on it !!! :>)

 

You need to remove the headliner, fill the hole, repaint the roof, and install a windshield that has a built in antenna.

Not worth it IMO.

 

I replaced my Prius roof antenna with a body-colored shark-fin antenna - like you see on newer BMW's. Much better looking than a whip antenna, though the reception isn't quite as cool. I assume you could do the same here. But yea, no more Jack-in-the-box heads...

 

Ed,

dont be foolish......................caulk it

 

Wow so the person who ordered that car opted for a roof mounted whip antenna...strange.

Yeah wonder if I remove it, buy a sat radio, read the threads on how to integrate that into the BOSE and affix the sat antenna in its place

 

If you want to save some time and money, just use Duct Tape

 

As they say down south, "Ain't nothin' duct tape and a hammer can't fix."

well said in the south............in the north they say "alittle caulk and paint,makes a carpenter what he aint"

 

With or with out the sound of dueling banjo's in the background?

 

I think it's for better AM reception.
