I have heard that some cars actually have 2 antennas, one on the top is the obvious one. However if the vehicle is in a roll-over accident, the top antenna does not work, so they started installing them on the bottom as well. How true this is I do not know, but it does make sense.
So, if you unplug the top one, you might have to look for the bottom one as well.

Is there not another antenna in the windshield up around the rear view mirror? What's that one for?

California cop injured, homicide suspect dead after OnStar shuts down truck on hours-long police chase
A fleeing homicide suspect in California led officers from three jurisdictions on an hours-long car chase before they discovered the vehicle had an OnStar and could be shut down with an electronic signal.
Here we go, shutting down cars to stop a chase. OK, on star cooperates to stop a killer on the run, fine. By why stop there? What about shutting off someone's car because of a restraining order? How about cuing up a list of politically "dangerous" people to disable them? And don't forget hackers like Dark Side - first shut off the fuel pipelines, then how about stopping everyone's car with some kind of automotive ransom wear. And, hey, why couldn't this system be used to restrict travel to a region? I don't want this stuff in my car. With this kind of software, it's not my car.
One is for Onstar, the other is for XM/Sirrius
this is only the beginning, soon enough you won't even be able to "own" a vehicle, they will all be shared and you won't have any choice in the matter.California cop injured, homicide suspect dead after OnStar shuts down truck on hours-long police chase

your options will be limited to a white noise generator and not carrying any kind of smart device, not even a rf tag. i.e. credit/debit card, disguising your facial features and modify your gait. Most of this they are inching in little by little so the younger generation/next generation will be simply "used to it"
personally I do not mind that google tracks me because I can go into that information and look at my own time line and find out where I was at pretty much any given time even years ago. "my advertising trail" though must be a mind boggler lol because I sell a huge variety of things on ebay and I am always searching thousands of different things online
