If you get a car-kit you have to use the antenna it comes with.

Suggestion
You could drive around with the stiletto on your dashboard using batter power, but you will not get as good of a signal doing it the other way.

Once you put it into the car dock I think you will have to use the car antenna to get it to work.

PS: If you use ebay, they have a decent deal that has the stiletto and both home and car docks along with the $70 rebate.

Thinking of getting it and using with an FM modulator...
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Some people report that they have just placed the headphones with the antenna in the windshield and it worked good.
Anyone using this in their 996... It is a portable device, no need to attach external antenna. Thinking of getting it and using with an FM modulator... Does anyone know how good the satellite reception is without external antenna?
Thanks, Ross
FM modulator depends on where you plan to use it. Here in SoCal, it's hard to find an empty channel, especially towards San Diego where you get a lot of interference from Mexican stations. I guess NYC might have similar issues.
I just picked one up a couple of days ago. I haven't had a chance to install it in the 996 yet, but, from just walking around the house (without the headphone antenna) I have quite a few drop outs. If the unit is steady it has a weak signal...with the indoor antenna its great. Once you put it into the car dock I think you will have to use the car antenna to get it to work.
Without the dock you might get a signal but don't be surprised if it drops out a lot especially if there a lot of trees or tall buildings.
You can just put the car antenna in the windshield, or under the wiper cowling if you dont want to place it on the roof. It works fairly good there for me with only occasional drops.

Hope this helps.

I know its built in, but what I'm sayin is that if you install the car kit and you put the stiletto in it, it disables the built-in antenna and displays an error that the antenna is not detected.
