Bluetooth Adaptor Reception

Does anyone know if the bluetooth adaptor (model # B6 787 5878) somehow uses the external antenna (on the roof) for recpetion, or the internal antenna built into the adaptor?

Any information is helpful. Thanks.

The current bluetooth adaptors / pucks only utilize the phone's antenna and not the car's, so only act as a bridge to the speakers & mic.

The older bluetooths that allow you to physically "dock" your phone did use the car's antenna system and allowed better reception in low signal areas.
