If your car is a Nov or Dec build it may be too late to change the order, but as was mentioned above, the antenna is on the fender, not the roof.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored.

Hey Fellow Caymanites. I checked out the rod antenna mod on the new 3D''build your own' page of the Porsche web site. If you start building your car, check the rod antenna box and click on the little eye to see the detail. What a shock I got! I was told by the dealer theantenna wouldlook like the Carrera's, on the roof center line just forward of the hatch back. Well to my surprize the web page shows a fixed antennaprotruding from the front right fender (like a Boxter's) ! It looks like crap. I emailed the dealer to get rid of the option on my car (which they recomended) and he said it was too late for an Jan 06 delivery. Well I wrote a flamer asking for the district rep number and they came back and said the Porsche web site may be wrong. Does anyone know the truth about the rod Antenna? Thanks in advance...
From page 58, section 11.4, of the
Porsche Cayman
Product Information publicagtion:
"....... In order to optimize AM reception, an external antenna is available on request at no extra charge. This antenna is mounted on the front right fender."
Ouch! I should have read the fine print. If you go to the web site of Niello Porsche and go to the build your own section, it states the Rod Antenna is on the roof!
Because by default there is no rod antenna so 99% of all cars don't have it, it is in the windshield. If you want the rod antenna it is added to the fender. Press cars don't have them, hence you haven't seen them in photos.
Thanks K-Man,
I sure hope it doesn't come standard with an antenna on the fender! No way for me. I will call my dealer, but my dealer knows less about this car than I do.
Russ
You must affirmatively order the rod antenna to get one and it will be on the fender. If you didn't order it, you won't get it, it will be in the windshield. If you did order the rod antenna then it will e on the fender, not anywhere else.
Little update guys, Porsche of Hilton Head came back and told me it was too late to have the Rod antenna removed from my car.....so they, some how, found a December build position (my original was November build) and said I could make any changes I would likeon the new car and still get it Jan 15th. Talk about your customer satisfaction!/fckeditor/editor/images/smiley/MWPX/wink_smile.gif. My hats off to those guys. I changes colors and GOT THE SPORT SHIFTER!!!
BTW Porsche of Hilton Head is going to sell my original car soif anyone is looking for a Jan position, give Wally a call at [phone removed].....
Kevozzi,
I do not understand your dates. Do you mean that you are now getting a December build and they told you you would get delivery by January 15th?
I have a December build and delivery is February 15th.
Aloha Russ

Ferrett,

Aloha Russ

Russ, Go to the Porsche page and 'build your own' page. Download the 3D version and add the rod antenna. It will show up on your car. And yes, they did say a Dec build date would get me the car by Jan 15th. Lucky me..Aloha yall,
