that is the xm wart
This!
They all come with a relatively short antenna, but if your car came with "The Stubby" as pictured then someone put that on aftermarket for you. Works fine as an antenna but your experience will really depend on your location, topography, etc. I use XM so I can't really attest to it's functionality in various weather conditions but it picks up FM broadcasts from 40+ miles away in my area.Our car came with a stubby. I thought they all did.
Nevermind, I thought the stock one was a stubby. It’s not very tall but it’s taller than yours. I don’t have a problem with the stock one. It’s barely noticeable as is but yours is definitely short.They all come with a relatively short antenna, but if your car came with "The Stubby" as pictured then someone put that on aftermarket for you.

I use the XM app on my phone while it is connected to my car. I do not need the antenna but cant find something to replace the XM antenna with that looks better. If you find something, let me know.Many of us swap out the stock antenna for a stubby. But the XM wart is really not replaceable. At least it's painted body color.
