Thanks! Knowing that what I might be searching for would be somewhere under the dashboard is a good first step.

Then I am not an engineer nor have any experience in electronics BUT I know from my dad that taking the dashboard apart is not an easy task. If I would succeed I do not know what I would be looking for… Would tan antenna look like a piece of wire? Or could it be embedded in the 'copper' circuitry of a PCB? Do cars use regular SIM cards like the ones found in phones or would they look different?

The maintenance manual would probably be a good place to start before trying to put anything apart.

Every platform is different. The maintenance manual won't tell you as it's not part of maintenance. If you really want a piece of literature then you'll need a factory service manual, but no offense if you don't know what you're doing you WILL cause damage to your vehicle (or even yourself if you accidentally mess with the airbags)

Valid point, no offense taken. I did not think about the airbags! As for damages to the vehicle, this is something I understand an am willing to accept. If I do stupid things I have to face consequences.
Anyway, getting the help of a mechanic would be point number 1 on my list. If can find one willing to take the challenge :)
