Guess that might be only an issue if you mount the CD box inside...
I agree that some connectors do have shielding. I just don't think it does anything since all the wires in the harness are not shielded. Any interference or RFI etc will happen in the harness regardless of what you do with the connector. I think you would need to use shielded wires in the harness before a shielded connector would have any significant impact on performance.
