The external antenna on that car is for a factory CELL PHONE only, the radio antenna is in the rear window!

The radio antenna is indeed in the back window. Not the rear door windows.

So what is that antenna near turnk area?

So what is that antenna located to the drivers side real panel next to the trunk used for?
Also if the radio antenna is located in the rear window, that means it is not mechanical. So is it gues on to the rear window?

As MB DOC said, the antenna that is retracted in your left rear fender is for the cell phone option only. I'm seriousely considering deleting the antenna from my car.

Look carefully at the wires on the rear window. They're not all used for the defroster. Those that aren't, are the antennas.
