Recently purchased a 2013 and it cam le without a radio antenna for some reason.. looks like the original was just unscrewed.

Should I get a factory replacement or is there something better?

I don't really my radio so I put a half length antenna on. I was having issues with the factory antenna hitting the ceiling in my parking bay... When I do run the radio it seems to work fine.
