Wireless in Autos

Does anybody have any recommendations on what kind of newer car one can buy that doesn’t have Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, or other wireless technology? Seems they are putting wireless in all cars for the last couple of years. And Ford is planning a wireless auto mesh. Remember when Mark brought this article up:

Ford working on car-to-car wireless mesh network for real-time telemetry, government use

<snip>
What if a secure, ad hoc Wi-Fi mesh network connected every car — in an infinite radius — so that they could transmit telemetry data to each other in real-time? What if the braking car in front of you — or five cars in front of you — wirelessly transmitted the exact force and timing of the braking to every car behind it? Better yet, what if a car that was five or 10 miles away could tell every car behind it that there’s congestion or an accident ahead?

So what can a person do to avoid wireless in cars beside buy an older used car?

Here is a video about emf in cars. There's also some good links on the left, with short vids, like shielding with mylar, etc.

I found a 4x a minute microwave burst coming right at my chest from my 2009 Honda Civic.
Nothing in the manual.
I called the Honda 800 number...they said that it was the bluetooth system (even tho I never used it or turned it on). Nothing I could do but take it to dealer to have it 'disconnected'.
I did that.
Luckily, I had my meter. The microwave 'bleeps' did not go away after he disconnected it.
After diving under my console deeper he pulled another wire for the bluetooth system and "that did it" -- no more microwaving of the ol' breasts driving to work.

So, you could still by a new car, at least a Honda, and get it disconnected with proof via meter.

At least that is my plan whenever I buy a new car..

RE: Re: Wireless in Autos

This is good information. I've got a meter and need to get a vehicle's wireless disconnected. I had my husband try once and the mechanic told him that there were about 13 computers under the hood and that it would be impossible, but your story gives me hope that with my meter I can get this done. On one of my vehicles each time the driver's side door is opened it puts out microwave bursts of up to 81 uw/m2, but we discovered that if the passenger side door was opened first this MW burst doesn't happen.
