No, not for the nav, it's just for XM satellite radio.

I'm glad we only have the shark fin on the IS-F and not on "regular" cars. I'm so not liking that antenna.

That thing right there is for aerodynamics!! Makes your car swoop freely true the air and add's 5hp.. 10hp if replaced with carbon fiber. More if stickers are added.
