    Yes the thing blocking only my vehicle is a barrier in the event of an emergency. Never mind that it turns off with the car or that the driver can pull it out of the cigarette lighter at any time.

    God you folk are dummies.

    These things only have the signal strength to block a 5ft radius. That barely extends past the driver door and doesn’t if it’s still a steel paneled vehicle. Frankly you would probably need two for some SUVs.

        The signal is imperceptible outside a 1980s truck.

        On a modern vehicle if you are more than a foot away from the door it can’t be measured.

        They are cheap devices without much long range punch, but effective for the range they cover.

        Yes most are made in China, Taiwan, or Vietnam, but that doesn’t matter if you are checking them. Frankly the cheaper one don’t even cover that range. For these you have to check that they at least block the radio.

        Long range stuff like radar jammers are doing very different shit.

        Edit: at a certain point you realize it’s time to stop wrestling the pig. Have fun getting tracked folks. There is a sub 100$ solution.

      God you folk are dummies.

      Maybe people just don’t 100% trust the word of someone they don’t know on the internet, when they make claims without any supporting evidence. That’s not dumb; it’s appropriately cautious. Do you have any evidence to back up what you say?
