Faraday Cage, read my other top level comment..
Not so easy to rip your dashboard apart to wrap things in screening though. Nor should a person have to considering the tens of thousands of dollars they already paid for something.
Who said the computer components you're looking for are in the dash? I mean I'll be honest, I dunno about these modern vehicles, but vehicles I've worked on in the past have the main computer in weird unexpected places like under the driver's seat or in the passenger side cowell area.
I do get your point though, yes such modifications might be simple on paper, but cost quite a bit in labor to actually accomplish.
Regardless, I've done dashboards too, even drove my car around for a day with the entire dash completely missing, because I needed to drive it to the store during service that took me two days.
Hooray for dumb cars!
I have a "differently abled" car as well that doesn't have Onstar (it came out on the next model year after mine.) but even it has most of it's electronics buried under the dash by the firewall. You'd have to pay me to replace it with all this tracking crap they stuff in there now.
I'm stealing that from you LOL!
"Differently Abled"..
