    3rd Gen antenna is a considerably more intricate design. This will take me some time to get correct.

    it appears to have an “extension” built into its own housing. The extension nestled into the upper tail of the fin.

    Does the 3rd gen have a higher data demand than the 2nd gen; thus requiring a stronger antenna signal? Or is the 2nd gen tech inferior to the 3rd. The chipset appears to be identical. Is this antenna extension actually necessary? I need a 3rd gen to test with.

    My 2015 has HD radio. I don’t have this extension on mine. I’m very, very curious. It’s a shame none of my locals are 3rd gen guys.

    Doesn't the 3rd Gen have the coil extension in there for the AM/FM reception?

    Does anyone know of some type of plug I can use just to fill the hole.... I don't listen to my radio or use the navigation. I'm just looking for the space for the last bar on my prinsu rack

    Your factory antenna performs that job quite nicely. What I’ll be offering soon is the solution your looking for.

    Working on that...

    It may be something very simple, or the exact opposite. I’m in the “discovery” phase.
