Sharkfin without bluetooth or sat/digital radio?

Hi everyone,

i ordered no bluetooth, sat/digital radio or telephone functionality. I was surprised that my 1///M has a Sharkfin on-top. The only conclusion would be, that they install also for the standard radio broadcasts. Has anyone experienced the same?

Thank you guys

It's the standard antennae design.

Check this out.

For 1M the sharkfin always contains the radio antenna (and a diversity antenna in the rear window) plus optional antenna(s) depending on your config

Newbie question: How does one "tap into" the antenna? That is, I have a third party cell phone booster, and would like to make use of the antenna in the fin, rather than add one to the car.
