Took my X3 to the dealer today to look at the shark fin and its Emperor's New Clothes signal boost. I even left instruction on how to field test using an iPhone.
The guy was helpful and tested with an iPhone 4 and 3GS and also checked the cradle in a 5 series. He used the field test method but came up with the same results as me in my X3 and in the 5 series. There is nothing to prove that doesn't work and nothing to prove that it does. I had a long discussion with him and he checked for any obvious fin problems but didn't come up with anything.
So what we can read into this? Either the cradle does very little or nothing at all IMO. My signal is pretty good in most places anyway but this will be disappointing for those who buy the cradle specifically for this signal boost.
