Can't you just cut the antenna? Or just improvise a Faraday cage around it.

  Good luck finding it. And then, good luck getting to it.

    While a pain, it isn't impossible. There will be an FCC ID that it has (due to transmitting receiving). Based on that device, you at least know what to look for (a PCI card? An entire board? an Antenna?). Since FCC testing is expensive, I would not doubt that many manufacturers just make one card to install into multiple cars (to lower the FCC testing cost). That would be the best case, as all you need to do is find and remove that card.

      Instead of doing that, I'd simulate "network loss" by substituting a 50 ohm dummy load for the output antenna. This assumes that it is a connector, not soldered right to the board. This way, there is no "fault" other than not being in a cellular-coverage area.

        That's a good way too. Didn't think of that.
