Dear Van Isle TM,
You will find some very useful information in the following thread >

This user did not have a radio. They later installed a radio but was unhappy with the
reception by the factory installed antenna(the one you found). They eliminated the factory
antenna and connected the radio to use the television antenna instead.
If you really want to "power off" your radio antenna there is a connector in a red wire in
the junction box on the edge of the front shell just below the antenna.
Radio reception through this factory antenna is not great but if you disconnect the power to it then it will
be extremely poor to almost unusable.
I have considered disconnecting my radio antenna as we don't listen to radio hardly ever.
We like to connect an 'aux' cable between a tv and the radio so we can pipe the tv sound to the speakers above the couch.
Hope this helps. Stay safe.
