No. The factory radio accesses two antennas. The primary rear height adjustable pole antenna and the embedded in the windshield FM sub antenna to improve FM reception. The main pole antenna changes height based upon the frequency and band selected, three possible heights range from 700 to 980mm.
Some owners have chosen to remove the pole antenna and replace it with a so-called stubby antenna. Mainly, I suspect, for cosmetic purposes.

I have not done this modification, others have. Try using the search tool or advanced search tool, there are several threads about antenna replacement/repairs as well as links to you tube videos.
The only way I know of gaining access to the antenna wiring is to remove the trunk garnish panels. Also there is a TSB on the antenna pole replacement procedure using another person and two of the radio buttons.
