Bypassing factory FM antenna

[mr_robot]

Problem: FM signal is gone (all stations) when I turn on the rear defroster.

I've tried everything that is easily replaceable/accessible:

New radio module (in the trunk)
New supression filters in the upper hatch
Cleaned all contacts with Deoxit.

So at this point I was wondering if I can just bypass the antenna all together.

Basically get an oem antenna adapter used for aftermarket radios and get my own powered antenna that I will mount it somewhere?

Maybe even get creative and put a fake shark fin antenna and retrofit the fm antenna in there some how?
