Safe to remove FM antenna?

I’m driving a 2021 Peugeot e-208 in Norway, where we don’t have FM radio (only DAB). I notice no difference in DAB reception when removing the tall antenna stick, which I assume is for FM radio. But is it safe or do I risk water damage via the empty socket? Is there a rubber plug that would fit?

Only reason to remove it is for cosmetic reasons, making it look more the recent facelift e-208 which doesn’t have the protruding old school FM antenna stick.

Using Korg Volca FM as a sound module

For my latest release, I used Zoom L-6 to connect all my Volcas and integrate with Ableton Live (using "Ext. Instrument"). It was so fun and so much faster than using VSTs, since I know the Volcas inside out from hours of DAWless jamming and can quickly find the sounds I need.

I used the stock Xylo and String presets, pitched them down (from Am to Fm, appropriately) and applied compression, filter and delay.

Do you have any tips for using the Volcas as sound modules? Do you know how I can get an "Ext. Instrument" in Ableton to play a recorded MIDI sequence (I played everything live in the recording)?
