I made mod on my SL? antenna. As it was less than 3 inches long, there was not much room for any wires inside it.
The install took me longer as I have never used a soldering iron before and my antenna was not as shown in the first pictures. So I had to figure out what to do as I went along.
Here are pics of my antenna and what I did to improve the radio reception.
It did get me more stations in clearly whereas before they were all static.
It did not effect my Remote top reception. (I believe Mr Bipes said the Bipes Remote Reciever is under the dash.)

2. Pic of inside of antenna once removed from base. (notice blue area has 2 indents in it. I used needle nose pliers to turn it out. Be careful not to squeeze pliers and damage shaft inside.)
3. Pic of antenna with insides removed next to ruler.
4. Pic of wires wrapped but not soldered yet. (I wrapped both wires at the same time. Red wire has to be sodered at the top and the Black wire is soldered at the other end next to the threads.)
5. Pic of it back on car.
