This year (2026), I purchased a used 2015 NISSAN NOTE. Immediately after the purchase, I did two things:

1. Removed or turned off all transmitters and wireless equipment from the vehicle.
2. Made a list of repairs, upgrades, and modifications I want to do.

Low on the upgrade list was the task of purchasing a new multimedia system and turning off or removing all transmitters from it.

I documented the purchase of the car and the removal of all RF sources from it in several blog posts. The summary was compiled in the post – https://www.norad4u.com/blog/2026/02/buying-a-new-old-low-emf-radiaton-car/

Choosing and Ordering the new multimedia system

A few weeks ago, I finally ordered the new Multimedia system from China. The purchase was delayed due to the war, and because of my search for the model that seemed to best fit my requirements. One of the main requirements was that it would be possible to turn off all RF transmissions (WIFI + BT). Another requirement was that the device would have physical buttons. Turning off the transmissions because I am radiation sensitive. Physical Buttons, because I believe that the main functions should be operable via a button, without diverting attention from the road and without performing multiple actions or gestures on the touch screen.

This is contrary to the majority opinion, where people want as many transmitters as possible (and as strong as possible) and as many touch screens as possible with fewer buttons. Of course, in both cases, they are wrong.

Physical installation

When the shipment finally arrived (there was a customs delay), I began the installation by measuring radiation from the device and turning off everything that could be turned off. The device’s GUI (user interface) was restricted by the manufacturer, and it was only possible to turn off the WIFI through the interface. It was not possible to turn off the Bluetooth. This is where I got suspicious.

Afterward, I carried out a variety of physical adjustments in the car. The new device was supposed to be a perfect fit, but a few millimeters were missing in the dashboard for it to slide in easily.

Installing apps

After hacking, cutting, and sanding the dashboard, the device fit in freely. Then I turned my attention to configuring the device and installing a navigation software that does not require cellular data or internet access. The software is ORGANIC MAPS, and it can be found on the Google Play Store. It requires a one-time wireless download of the maps to the device. Afterward, the Wi-Fi can be turned off forever (or until the next time you want to update to new maps). The installation was performed by downloading the APK file to a computer, transferring it to a USB memory card, and then transferring it to the device and running it.

Additionally, I installed a few more apps to make the device cooler, simpler, and more convenient to use. At the end of each installation, I re-checked that the device was not emitting radio frequency radiation, just in case one of the apps decided to turn the transmissions back on.

Is the RF really off?

Slowly but surely, a suspicion crept into my heart that there was a transmission, albeit a weak one. I removed the device from the car and hooked it up on my desk at home.

At my house, the background radiation is lower than the radiation in the car, when it is parked on the street, and there are no transmissions at all (my entire house is wired/cable-based). This means it would be easy to notice any unusual transmissions from the device. Any transmission would be registered and displayed on the radiation meter.

I placed two radiation meters next to the device: an old CORNET ED88TPLUS to see if there was a transmission, and the ENV RD100 connected to a computer with software that displays the measurements over several hours. This way, I could capture every transmission. And indeed, two short transmissions were clearly visible once every few minutes.

BTLE signal every 150 seconds

There was a tiny transmission every now and then. To understand exactly how often the transmission occurs, I connected the ENV RD100 to the computer and ran the logging software. On the software, I saw that the transmission occurs every 150 seconds (two and a half minutes). The transmission was clearly visible on both the meters and the software.

I used AI to help figure out what this could be. Its direction pointed toward a Bluetooth ‘KEEP ALIVE’ or ‘BEACON’ signal.
I installed a software that uncovers settings blocked by the manufacturer, and indeed, I found a setting for ‘BTL2’—a setting that, even when turned off, reverts back to transmission mode every time the device boots up.

Removing the antennas

After realizing I wouldn’t be able to turn this setting off permanently, I began to intervene at the hardware level. First, I removed the external Bluetooth antennas. On one of the device’s connectors, there were two small wires (about 3 cm each) that served as antennas for the Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. After removing them, the measured signal dropped accordingly.

To be honest, it was so low that it would have satisfied most people. But it did not satisfy me as a radiation-sensitive individual. The Bluetooth transmission dropped from a level of 8 milliwatts per square meter to less than 0.02. The Wi-Fi transmission (which I can turn off via the settings menu) dropped from 200 milliwatts per square meter to around 10 milliwatts per square meter.

Removing chips from the board

To lower the transmission even further, I decided to open the device and look for the transmitter itself to see if it could be removed. With the help of Google’s AI, I analyzed the components on the board. I realized that the transmission comes from a main chip that runs the operating system, which also includes the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth transmitter. This chip cannot be removed, because then the device wouldn’t work. I kept looking for another component that could be removed, or a point where I could cut off the path of the Bluetooth (and Wi-Fi) transmission to the external pins of the device.

What I found (with the help of the AI) was an RF mixer/multiplexer installed on the board. I did a few tests with a multimeter to verify that this was indeed the component, and I identified that the pins that were connected to the external antennas were connected to the bottom pins of this chip.

I plucked up the courage and disconnected it from the board… I tried to be gentle, but since it was so small, I made quite a mess there. Ultimately, I managed to disconnect three of its pins from the board: the Wi-Fi pin, the Bluetooth pin, and the ground pin.

Retesting

“I reassembled everything and checked the radiation again. The radiation during Bluetooth transmission has now dropped almost below the level I am able to measure at home. And even then, it was only when the radiation meters were placed right against the device. In the car out on the street, this transmission will drown in all the noisy background. At least, that is what I hope. Besides, it’s just a pulse once every two and a half minutes. Not too bad… I hope.

I reinstalled and reconnected everything, and checked the radiation in the car again, and indeed, I didn’t see the transmission at all above the already noisy background on the street.

This is the third time I have been forced to intervene at the hardware level in such devices to completely stop the transmission. And this is the first time I actually had to lift the ‘pins’ of a tiny component off the board. In previous times, I had to disconnect an entire daughter board, which is easier.
To anyone who thinks this looks easy, or who feels exhausted after reading this tiring post, I will only say that it took me somewhere between 20 to 40 hours of work to do it all (depending on how you count).
That’s it… Now everything is assembled, everything works, and it seems that everything is not transmitting. Time to move on to the next project.

What’s Wrong?

Something is going wrong in the auto industry (actually, a few things) over the last few years, and it looks like a major counter-movement is finally waking up. Lately, cars seem to be getting bigger, safer, more advanced, and less polluting. At least, that’s how it looks on the surface. So, what’s wrong? Unfortunately, through all these changes, vehicles have become bulkier, overly complex, and way more expensive to buy, maintain, and drive. And instead of actually keeping us safer, they have turned into a massive distraction behind the wheel.

Everybody Wants an SUV

The compact and sedan sectors—and especially large executive cars—have been virtually wiped out (at least in the Israeli market). They’ve been replaced by lifted, high-riding versions known locally as “Jeepons” and globally as Crossovers or SUVs. Everybody wants to sit up high, even if they only use the car to drop the kids off at kindergarten or sit in bumper-to-bumper traffic for an hour each way. The impact of this trend, alongside the death of smaller family cars, is exactly what you’d expect: a massive spike in car prices, vehicle weight, and overall maintenance costs. Everyone wants an SUV, but it comes with a price tag.

Are New Cars Actually Safer?

Ever-tightening safety regulations have forced more and more passive and active safety systems into our vehicles. The first byproduct of these systems—especially when poorly designed—is that they actually distract and annoy the driver while they’re trying to focus on the road. The second byproduct is cost. Every single one of these systems requires funding for development, taxes, and maintenance. Sure, they might save you a bit on insurance or registration taxes, but my estimate is that these systems add roughly 10,000 NIS (~3000$US), to the price of a new car. On top of that, they constantly interrupt the driver and have mostly become a daily nuisance. As a reference, a compact-sized SUV, like the Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid, in Israel costs ~180000NIS(which is around US$60000)

Fuel Efficiency? Think Again.

Strict emissions and fuel economy regulations have pushed manufacturers toward smaller engines (three or even two cylinders, around 1.0 to 1.2 liters) packed with turbochargers and paired with dual-clutch (robotized) or CVT transmissions. We see this even in relatively large vehicles like family sedans and SUVs. Beyond the lack of immediate power (as well as the shift to SUVs, which makes the cars heavier and causes higher fuel consumption even on smaller, weaker engines), this shift brings massive complexity and hidden costs. Smaller engines tend to wear out faster, turbo systems require extra maintenance, and robotized gearboxes (and CVTs to a lesser extent) demand complex and expensive upkeep. It all drives up running costs. And don’t even get me started on hybrids or electric vehicles—where you get unnecessary exposure to higher radiation alongside even greater technical complexity.

More Screens, More Distractions

Inside the cabin, physical levers and mechanical buttons are vanishing, replaced by massive screens. This has two major consequences: longer task times (meaning the driver’s eyes are off the road) and skyrocketing maintenance and repair costs. A recent study (link) highlighted staggering differences in response times for performing four basic driving tasks. The clear winner? The older vehicle with physical buttons and dials, leaving the screen-heavy modern cars far behind.

see – https://www.vibilagare.se/reportage/test-av-pekskarmen-i-11-bilar-gamlingen-vinner-stort?

Expensive “Spaceships”

The bottom line of all this is that cars have become over-engineered, more expensive to buy, and pricier to drive and maintain—all while having a shorter lifespan. Instead of simple, reliable transport, vehicles are turning into spaceships. DIY maintenance or fixing your own car? Forget about it. What used to be a common hobby is now nearly impossible because everything is so tightly packed and complex, requiring specialized diagnostic tools and the knowledge of an automotive engineer. In fact, things are so bad on the maintenance front that even dealership garages have almost stopped fixing parts; they just swap out entire systems. A repair that used to cost a few hundred shekels has turned into replacing a whole engine or a complete modular system, racking up bills in the thousands.

The Tide is Turning

But now, we might finally be seeing a shift. Well, sort of.

European Regulations: Stop Distracting Us!

In 2026, for the first time, European safety standards will prioritize physical buttons and mechanical controls, which allow drivers to operate systems much faster. They are also focusing on safety systems that don’t constantly get in the driver’s way. I wrote about this here – https://etsc.eu/cars-will-need-buttons-not-just-touchscreens-to-get-a-5-star-euro-ncap-safety-rating/

or https://www.autoblog.com/news/europe-and-china-now-require-physical-buttons-in-cars-will-the-us-follow

The Rise of Kei Trucks in the US

Another interesting pushback is coming straight from the US. American farmers and tradespeople are starting to import old, tiny Japanese work vehicles known as Kei Trucks. Why? Because they are cheap, dead simple, easy to fix yourself, highly reliable, and incredibly practical. More and more Americans are ditching their over-styled spaceships—those gigantic lifted trucks that look more like luxury yachts. We actually have a few of those in my neighborhood; they take up two regular parking spots, and you practically need a ladder just to climb into the cabin. Instead, people are choosing to work their fields with what we in Israel affectionately used to call the “Subarit” (a nod to Subaru’s tiny microvans from the ’90s that were nimble, bulletproof, and efficient, often coming with an open flatbed and a 4×4 drivetrain perfect for dirt roads and fields).

Meanwhile, instead of listening to the public, car manufacturers in the US are lobbying for laws to restrict these mini-trucks, citing safety concerns, especially on public roads. That’s what I’m gathering from several recent articles and videos on the subject.

You can see more about it in this video—which might be AI-generated, but the data behind it is absolutely real – https://youtu.be/wcug_olRV-I

An Urgent Wake-Up Call!

To all car manufacturers and importers: I want to see more vehicles that are small, simple, easy to maintain, efficient, and practical. Vehicles that are affordable to buy, run, and fix. Bring back physical buttons, knobs, and levers in the cabin. Give us cars where, if I want to upgrade the infotainment or safety setup, I can do it myself or go to a local technician. I want cars built to last for decades, where I can handle at least basic maintenance on my own driveway.

Fewer screen-heavy spaceships, fewer tiny downsized engines, fewer fragile turbochargers that break down, and fewer delicate transmissions that require constant upkeep. I don’t want vehicles that claim incredible fuel economy on paper, only to bleed my wallet dry with real-world operating costs. And of course, I want vehicles without unnecessary exposure to radiation from excessive electrical and communication systems. Let me decide how advanced or how beautifully simple my car should be, based on my own needs and taste.

I am certain I am not the only one.

“There is no way you can detect radiation from cell phones. If you can demonstrate that you can identify whether a phone is active or not inside a closed box, it would be an incredible medical breakthrough! Has any of you ever performed such an experiment?”

My reply and explanation

First of all, I do not usually approve the entry of “EMF/EHS harm-deniers” into this group. As an exception, I have approved your membership and your comment, for the slim chance that you are truly naive and unfamiliar with the subject, haven’t experienced it yourself, and are genuinely here to learn. However, if there is any hint of denying the damages or denying Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity (EHS) in your comments, I will block you.

I suspect you are basing your opinion on flawed experiments regarding EHS published in industry-funded studies. These studies committed numerous errors in exposure testing, including exposing subjects when there was supposedly no exposure, and expecting sensitive individuals to react to every type of non-ionizing radiation—instantly, always, and to be “as good as new” after a few minutes without exposure (or with less exposure). You can read about these studies and their flaws on my website:
https://www.norad4u.com/ehs/studies-disproving-ehs/

Naturally, these studies were embraced by deniers and promoted by the industry as if they were the truth. To this day, this is what is taught in academia (without understanding the subject and without a critical look at the studies themselves). In contrast, there are many studies showing that EHS individuals react in one way or another to exposure, as well as studies showing biomarkers and neurological findings in EHS sufferers. These studies are also summarized on my site:
https://www.norad4u.com/ehs/studies-supporting-ehs/

It is possible that you simply do not want to believe that EHS is possible or caused by radiation, and it is easy and convenient for you to think we are all mentally ill. After all, you are a high-tech worker, a computer science graduate, likely a heavy cell phone user, and surrounded by radiation throughout your day. To think that you are harming yourself is a problematic thought for you. Thinking that you don’t understand or know everything might also be an inconceivable thought.

You seem to feel contempt toward those who are sensitive, and contempt toward the possibility that EHS is real, caused by radiation exposure, and that non-ionizing radiation (specifically RF radiation) has biological and health effects at exposure levels lower than those that cause heating. If that is the case, you probably won’t be able to “digest” studies showing mechanisms of harm, effects, damages, and morbidity resulting from exposure (https://www.norad4u.com/emf-science-studies/studies-lists/). This contradicts what is common in “denier” and industry circles.

Regarding whether EHS individuals can identify transmitting phones inside a box: the answer is not always, and not every person. The individual must be sensitive to the specific type of radiation being transmitted (not everyone is sensitive to all types of frequencies and transmissions. Asmart phone my be emitting UMTS, LTE, WIFI, Bluetooth, NFC, other…), and the intensity must be such that it causes a noticeable and distinct change, without harming them or worsening their condition.

I, for example, feel cell phones. In the past, when I was more sensitive and worked in high-tech, I would literally “detect” active cell phones through the drywall of my lab, and discover transmissions inside the lab or at home. Usually, I was later able to confirm this with a radiation meter and find the source. Today, I am less sensitive and can spend a little time in an environment with cell phones, so my detection ability is lower. But still, after a day of cumulative exposure that is too high for me, I will feel unwell.

For instance, this week I am conducting tests in my home lab with RF transmitters in the open air. I sit two meters away from the transmitters (a transmission weaker than the average cell phone). I don’t feel the radiation immediately, but by the end of the day, I am more tired than usual. Last week, there was one day where I overdid it with the exposure (working with an amplifier), and than I felt the radiation during the day. There was even a point in the day, as the pain accumulated, where I could actually feel every start and end of a transmission, and even an electric field from a USB cable I added near the computer. Then, and exactly then, that additional radiation was enough to trigger my “detection.” The next day, after a good night’s sleep, I no longer felt the cables.

Personally, I have had hundreds of cases where I identified radiation based on feeling and later identified the source with a meter. This includes cases where radiation shielding stopped working (e.g., a grounding wire disconnected) and I identified it by feeling worse. I assume many EHS sufferers here have similar experiences—not every time, not with every type of radiation, but with the right exposure, at the right intensities and the right type, they recognize it.

This is not something you can base a precise research protocol on that will work for everyone, everytime. But it is enough to understand that you are sensitive. Even those with mild (Low) sensitivity, who are only at the beginning of their decline, will notice that every time they talk for more than “X” amount of time on a cell phone held to their head, they get a headache afterward. This might sound delusional to addicts or industry people, but it is very common.

Beyond that, I guide many sensitive individuals, and during the process, we gradually reduce their exposure to radiation. In most cases, the improvement is significant. Furthermore, in the past, there were those who intentionally exposed me to radiation to see if I would react (without my consent or knowledge); I usually caught them fairly quickly (though not instantly). Today, as mentioned, I am less sensitive (an improvement resulting from years of reducing exposure and improving my health), and I probably wouldn’t identify it as quickly.

The post Replay on Facbook – EHS people will not be able to identify if a phone is ON or OFF appeared first on www.norad4u.com.

Of course, I recommend learning how to operate your device in a way that allows you to stop its wireless transmissions at any time. However, I have come to understand that there are people who find this difficult for various reasons, even if they are aware of the potential harm of radiation and want to reduce their exposure.

Exactly for them, I developed this new product: a small pouch made of radio-frequency (RF) shielding fabric. The moment a mobile phone is placed inside it, and the opening is closed, the pouch blocks all signal reception and radiation from the phone. After a few minutes, the phone “gives up” trying to connect and stops transmitting.

The principle behind this is the Faraday Cage effect—a conductive layer that prevents external radiation from entering and affecting what is inside the pouch, and likewise prevents radiation from inside from escaping outward.

Why use such a pouch/bag?

There are several main reasons for using a radio-frequency shielding pouch:

1. Stopping phone transmission and reception

When the mobile phone is inside the pouch, it cannot receive calls, messages, internet data, GPS signals, and more. This can be useful during sleep, important meetings, or any situation in which you do not want to receive or transmit wireless signals.

2. Reducing exposure to electromagnetic radiation

According to the conductive-fabric principle, radiation emitted by the phone cannot escape outward, thereby reducing exposure for people nearby.

3. Privacy and security

In certain use cases, Faraday bags are also used to prevent tracking or eavesdropping, block location signals, prevent remote access to the device, or protect against signal detection or interception devices.

Radio-frequency shielding fabric pouch/bag for stopping transmission and reception from a mobile phone

What is important to know before purchasing?

Choosing a high-quality material is very important: quality pouches use conductive fabric with metal layers such as copper, nickel, or a combination of metals that provide broad-frequency shielding.
Complete signal blocking also depends on a perfect seal of the pouch—any small opening or gap can allow radiation to penetrate.

Studies conducted in the past by the U.S. Department of Health determined that radiation from mobile phones alters the brain’s pattern of sugar consumption (Nora Volkow, 2012), and that rats exposed to radiation from mobile phones were at higher risk for cancers, pre-cancerous markers, oxidative stress, damage, and other effects (NTP, 2018). A follow-up study to the NTP, intended to identify the mechanisms of harm, was canceled (my guess: due to industry pressure).

Now, the Department of Health, under the leadership of Health Secretary Kennedy Jonnier, is launching a new study on the subject.

The study is expected to identify and address gaps in existing knowledge and is part of U.S. President Donald Trump’s “Make America Healthy Again” (MAHA) program.

At the same time, pages explaining that mobile phone radiation is not dangerous and does not interfere are gradually being removed from the websites of Department of Health agencies (such as the FDA).

The dawn of a new day?

This is happening in parallel with statements by health authorities, including the FDA, that it has still not been proven that mobile phone radiation causes cancer.
