Antenna? 2017 View 24G

I have a 2017 View 24G on a 2016 Sprinter chassis. While washing the roof, I noticed that there is a stub of a broken off antenna right next to the rearward passenger side roof ports where the solar panel plugs in. Any idea what this antenna is for? I have an intact antenna on the front center of roof, and the navigation/radio system is working, so I'm assuming that its for that system. Wondering if I should leave it or replace it?

Probably for the side entrance door Jensen system.
Just guessing.

Looks like there are several options depending on build date and what options were on the list, so a check of the info might help. Do you have a line by line list of what your RV has included in an info pack? This should tell you the little details of this sort so you can then see what to expect.
Looking at drawings, I see several items as I've marked on the drawing snip.
The green arrow is listed as item 11 and the blue arrow is item 13.
Item 5 (middle one) shows a GPS antenna on the itemized parts list, but the location was not showing for me.
Any help there or just more confusion?

There are two antennas for your two radio. The one to the rear is for your coach Jensen entertainment system. The forward is for the coach radio.

I had this issue with my 2015 view. Was indeed a radio antenna, and was easily and cheaply replaced (about $17) with a 7” antenna from Walmart. It appears to be a universal-type replacement.
