    Has anyone ordered their Speciale without radio and sat nav?
    Tempted to leave them out but was told by dealer it won't add much weight plus if I sell in future will it will effect resale. Anyone been in the same quandary?

    I probably will though I much prefer the cleaner look without the speakers!

    Do you ever wish you had navigation or bluetooth?

    I guess if the cars a keeper it's an easier decision to make, not sure I'm brave enough!

    Is that because of aesthetics, weight or is it rubbish quality?

    I have navigation on my phone. and when i drive my Speciale its an event. I don't talk on my cell phone. Don't ever see why I would. If you are using it as a daily than maybe this doesn't apply to you. I also got medium seats, which is a resale killer.

    I agree, never use the nav, only use the radio when my wife's in the car. Keep these things for possible resale and feel it has minor impact on interior aesthetics.

    No, because of the antenna on the roof...

    It probably will affect resale...positively. Nothing dates a car faster than the nav and stereo imo

    Out of curiosity, does the price go down when you delete the radio?

    That's one of looking at...but I'm not sure people will be too worried about an old ferrari being dated in the future as to affect it's price negatively.

    If you live in the United States then you don't have a choice. They cram it down your throat.

    Maybe they feel they might struggle to sell your car one day.
    Either way shouldn't be forced.

    I am looking to buy a 458 Speciale with factory radio delete. If anybody on this thread has one they want to sell, please PM me.

    How do the door panels look? Would love to see them without speakers.

    Mine has the factory radio delete. Just like the cleaner look. Don't think it save a huge amount in weight. Only the upgraded sound system is chunky.

    Would you be able to post a photo of your inner door panels, without the speakers? Must look nice and clean.
