Is it possible to build a true Faraday cage into a car? One that blocks WiFi and cell signals.
Guessing the glass might be the biggest problem...

They are just doing an isolated central box. I want to do the whole car.

Some upmarket cars have twin pane glass, some sort of layer in-between the panes would block signals. Always used to have telecom problems unless using external antenna.
Do you know if this happen with WiFi and 4G mobile signals?

So you can’t stream music to your car from your phone.

One step forward, two steps back.

Also as above, so passenger can’t use their phone or the drivers phone.

Pointless, why would you buy car that limits you like that?
I have a particular car in mind, where reducing the possibility of hacking would be a very good thing. Just imagine a light weight and cheaper version of 'The Beast' (the Presidents Limo) where WiFi and phone signal can be controlled.
A mobile office of sorts...
