replace shark fin?

Has anyone here seen or done a replacement for the shark fin? I don't have BMW assist, blue-tooth makes hard-wired phone unnecessary. So all I use the antenna for is radio and satellite radio. Can I replace teh shark fin with a short stubby antenna?

To put the sharkfin in they punch a hole just slighltly smaller than the sharksfin base into the roof of the E90 during production.

So if you remove it you are left with a nice big hole

Normal radio doesnt run through the fin

Phone antenna, Navigation, Satellite radio ect ect do

Nice big hole? Like a supplemental moonroof. Nice.
Oh well. Thanx for the help.

Hmmmm......I have been searching for a working non-dummy unit. Anyone know about one for sale anyway? I think I found one? Should I start a new thread about this?
