Signal Shield - IIRC the gaps in the cage/shield must be smaller than the wavelength of the electromagnetic wave you wish to block. Windows would be a significant problem. Maybe a box within the car into which you place your tellingbone ........
A lightening strike is not a electromagnetic wave ;)

But the statement on gaps been smaller than the wavelength is correct, good home example is the front of a microwave cooker :)

A lightning strike is an electric discharge between the atmosphere and an earth-bound object. A "lightening strike" is an industrial action by hairdressers who use peroxide.

A Faraday cage is only effective for a range of frequencies of EM waves. Your windows are big holes in the cage, so wavelengths smaller than about a metre have no trouble getting through. Your GPS and mobile phone antennas still work inside your car-- wavelengths around 20 cm.

Very soon the medical profession will diagnose cases of "Mobile Phone Syndrome" or "Digital Depression".

Looks like this Nissan Signal Shield System could be a Cost Saving (after the initial payout and when available) - Dave :lol:

I think I or we are from the "Old School" we always have our iPhones with us but they are only used when actually needed rachat de prêt. In the QQ phoning is only by Bluetooth thanks to Siri as the phone is in a pocket and when our system crashed recently and people tried to call, they had to wait until I had stopped. Sorry we are modern in most respects but these things when driving are Taboo, others will disagree which is their decision - Dave :)
You should have programmed your dashboard to sound when someone calls.

Algorithm can detect when you're distracted while driving. A new Al has been designed that could stop this - Dave ;)
