That does sound nifty, but I suspect it would be difficult to devise an internal antenna that's at all useful. I seem to recall that FM antennas should ideally be approximately 60 inches long to cover half a wavelength, with shorter, quarter wavelength lengths possible, but only with reduced reception.
