I think you’re off by a decade there. My 2010 car has no mobile connectivity.
Cars having satellite gps has been standard for most manufacturers since the early 2000s

My guy doesn’t know anything about how GPS works
Not suitable for this.
GPS is a purely one-way method, with the satellites transmitting only their position and a timecode, leaving the receiver to do the triangulation. And if they did send any sort of custom data packets over that method, it would just confuse the crap out of every other receiver across most of the world, causing potential device crashes, drawing attention from ham operators worldwide…
And also massively pissing off the US military. Turns out a lot of their equipment and munitions make use of GPS and INS, so fucking with those satellites is a no-go.
