Default 2007 FM Antenna

My understanding is that 2007 MY had a telescoping radio antenna, and the 2008 has an antenna in the spoiler.

My car is a 2007 and I definitely have a telescoping antenna:

But when I removed my spoiler today, It looks like I also have an FM antenna under there. I googled the model number and the only hits that came up where eBay ads for a jaguar antenna. Is this for FM (perhaps I got a late MY 2007 that had one installed in the spoiler) or is this for XM or some other function?

Very interesting. I also have a 2007 but have not taken off the spoiler. I also have a spoiler from another member's 2008, and it has a narrow circuit board inside the spoiler with squiggly etchings on it, which I assumed were the antenna. Do you see anything inside the spoiler?

This doesn't address your question but I have an 07. I pulled the fuse and FM still works OK and subscribe to satellite so don't need the antenna.

I believe that is the GPS antenna.

Yeah that's an antenna part number but for what I wonder. What is it plugged into, if anything?
