Was at the dealers today ( Q Ford) and he showed me the pre delivery cars. Noticed a 2017 GT in TY. He noticed a lump on it and asked me what it was. I assume it's an antenna for either GPS or Digital Radio but not certain as the 2016 has both these things but I have not seen one with this on it.

Can anyone confirm what it is?

I thought that was the antenna for satellite radio.

I wonder if it is to do with Sync 3?

That looks horrible !! If that's a sync 3 thing I'm more than happy with sync 2

Just checked my 2017 GT ETIS features list and it has

Fixed Radio Antenna-Black
ICE-Digitial Audio Broadcasting
With Diversity Antenna
Module/GPS Antenna

Stands out a bit but probably because of the white plastic travel wrap.

It's the way they cut the plastic around it that would worry me more than the look of the lump.

This is from the 2017 US brochure. Satellite Radio/GPS Antenna.

Has anyone with a 2016 got one. Doesn't bother me apart from I have not noticed it on any of the member cars I've seen on here. It also wasn't on the 2016 cars I saw today.

You are kidding guys, right ?

Every single Mustang sold here has it. It's an antenna.

None of the Oz spec 2016s have that antenna, even though we have DAB and GPS.

This is very peculiar.
