Default Roof antennas?

I see A4's around town with the molded plastic roof atennas above the rear window...they're not for the Navigation system (which I thought previously), so what are they for?

It's the combination broadcast/sat antenna. Pretty cool, eh what?

aren't there two different types of antennas, one that looks like a shark fin kind of and another one...i thought one was for navigation and the other is just satellite radio?

They have changed over the model years - newer ones are smaller, looking more like a tail fin, while older ones are bigger and look like a dorsal fin. The antena is the same whether or not the car was optioned with sattelite radio or navigation.
