I don't think the "old" iPod/iPhone dock connector had antenna wires. so not really a change. I think the reception boost, if any, was due to induction/proximity to the cradle, which is connected to the roof. I think some older cell phones had external antenna connections and actually boosted power when connected--- but in a 3G/4G world with fancy antennas and dynamic power output, I am not sure if this is relevant anymore...
