Surely this is inexpensive, and doesn't make our cars any less easy to use?
So what stops you pulling the connectors off and hanging a 'spare' DME next to it?



Have you looked at the DME in a 3'er?

I have a ham radio that can very effectively overload the receiver of keyfob signals in a car.
The keyfobs are very low power and so require no licence to operate on the 70cm band, as with many other devices like doorbells.
Which unfortunately is also a ham radio band allocation

Reminds me to have some fun in a multi-story when I'm next bored!
