Actually, this is no joke and I am hoping that someone out there has 
the catalog that I saw this in originally.  It may have been the new 
'Sharper Image' as they are often tuned (no pun intended) to this sort 
of thing.  I was more interested in the price - over $200, I believe 
and the fact that anyone would go to this trouble.  It was supposedly 
designed by the makers of a popular radar detector.
It was rather vague on the circuitry, presumably from the point of 
hiding the actual effectiveness, which without an Adcock array or 
some other such directional ability as you said, would be impossible.  
My assumption was that it probably used signal strength as one measure 
and possibly the same type of antenna as the directional indoor FM 
antennas (the BIC Beam Box, for instance), but then I am more familiar 
with radar than radio.
As for the frequencies, I hope I can find that ad or someone out there 
can, as I will put all the wonderful drivel about it up on the boards 
and see what a fun discussion it will generate.  Meanwhile a sun-roof 
might actually be a cheaper option and it would also increase the value 
of the car.
