Worth a try.
rather sound idea! cut the coax somewhere accessible (under steering wheel most likely) and install male / female adaptors to the cut ends, the ones for old tv aerials would work just fine, 99p at B&Q, and if you really want to make sure run an alternate connection to beside your cubby-hole or wherever you keep your n900 while driving.

personally i get a fantastic signal all the time on 1 frequency, keeping my n900 in the cubby-hole directly below my stereo.
