Hence the plea that if anybody out there has a mobile + adaptor that does use the external antenna, I would be really gateful to know the phone model

I'll only use the phone for voice, so any model -old or new - would be good to know about...
Yep, I agree it's annoying to have this capability but for the phone/adaptor not to be able to use it.

You may be better off finding out which phones have an external aerial connection, and then seeing if BMW have a snap-in adaptor for that model. I would think a specific snap-in adaptor would make use of the phone's external aerial connection if it was available. There is no aerial information on the BMW Accessories website
