It seemed like the question was being asked to allow for, through some tech magic, his cell to repeat through the car, not just use the cabling as a large mic. That's why I was referring to changing up the software in the MyLink system or even on the radio controller itself (though, offhand I don't know the FCC rules on such things -- esp if you F up and are sending out too much signal w/o a license)..

Anyways, was just going off what I see in the phone hacking side to allow for unlocked WiFi piggy backing for data.. and the powered cell boost amps I see..

All the passive ones have never worked out too well... And, I've had to deal with cell signal complaints years back on the 55th floor of the Prudential tower here in Chicago and we ended up going through a couple different catch/repeat systems with lengthy cable runs, amps and various antennae.

I think we are one the same wavelength

There just doesn't seem to be an easy way make it pay off. If there is, like you said, it will likely have to be licensed by the FCC. And I don't see them doing that with current focus on "securing" connected car tech.
