It's not for nothing GM owns Hughes in 1985 Hughes merged with Delco yep the people that made the cars electronics. GM is the only place you will find that feature.

That's credible. The other part of Mr Ham's claim -- wonder what his real name and callsign are -- about shutting a car down by a blast from a portable radar, even if vehicle-mounted and not handheld, is not. Some warship radars might do it to a modern vehicle, but you can't mount them in a cop car.
But you (N3LYT) really know more about that than I do. If you say I'm wrong I'll believe it.
