I think that the shark fin antennas you see an bmws and the like are gps antennas for sat nav.

This one is for cell phones

yeah the bmw ones are for: navigation, bmw assist, sat radio, cell phone.
iirc the radio antenna is bult into the a-pillar or in the windshield. I havent looked in a while at that stuff though.

I have always wondered about the fin antennas. I always thought that if you put one on the stock location of the 4Runner that you'd get bad reception since it's not the highest spot on the vehicle. I have never thought about BMW antennas being for nav/sat/assist only and that there is actually another hidden antenna. But on second thought, it makes a lot of sense.

On our BMW the radio antenna is in the back glass. Not sure on the new e90.
