i believe up until the iphone 5/5s they utilized a connection ring around the phone to passively boost the cell phone signal. The ring was connected to the sharkfin and apparently does result in some improvement of cell reception.

I would prefer if BMW just used an active cell signal booster like these:

Our guys who work in remote areas all use them in their trucks, definitely helps. And it just acts as a repeater. Not ideal, but works well enough.

If they put repeaters in all the cars then the booster could work for all occupants and no need for different cradles for different phones.
