Owning a GPS jammer is in itself not illegal, but using the devices to interfere with signals is a crime, according to the Southeastern Finland Police Department.

      Until someone just sticks a transmitter on the outside of the wrap.

      I think you could do it, but you’d need to spray some foam or something so the wrap cage isn’t touching any metal of the car.

      Might be easier to just put a cage around the transmitter.

        If you can find the transmitter, that is. I think that’s the problem

        That would also allow the driver and other occupants of the vehicle to use GPS, and their phones
