So on my roadster, I only listen to satellite radio. I had to unscrew and remove the AM/FM antenna to put my car cover on before I went on vacation. When I came back home, I was in a hurry to uncover the car and get going, so I didn't reattach the antenna. Much to my pleasant surprise, the nav and satellite radio worked fine. So I've kept the whip part of the antenna off. I can actually still pick up a few local FM radio stations too.
Not sure how good this is for the system, but I really like the look of having no antenna at all. If I do have any issues, I have the antenna in my truck, so I can reattach whenever.
