Does anyone know what my 2016 Taco uses for the radios AM Antenna?

There does not appear to be any wires in the glass - Hard to believe that that little
Shark Fin is the AM Antenna (I might believe it's used for FM)

Thanks - Clay

I am almost certain it’s incorporated into the shark fin along with FM.
