The Samsung Galaxy Y doesn't have an external antenna port so not sure what you can do there.

You can capacitively connect to a mobile phone external aerial.
Nokia have done it for years in their car kits. Should be something available for the samsung...? |

Some of the Samsung Galaxy phones have an external aerial connection behind the back cover and you can buy a modified cover that allows you to plug in.
I heard a mate talking a couple of weeks ago, I'll see him tomorrow and let you know. |

http://wireless-broadband-speed.com....y-y-s5360.html Note that I have not dealt with this mob - so I have no idea of the quality etc. I have a Galaxy S3 and got my patch lead from telcoanntennas.com.au - but they have nothing listed for the Galaxy Y. |
