From your weight and facial expressions to your destination, cars collect a startling amount of data about you. Some of it may even raise your insurance costs.

So like, what car do you buy new if you want to mod it to not phone home?
The one you downloaded in the 90s.
No can can transmit data without an antenna. I disconnect mine when I get a new car and just don’t install their app on my phone.
Some cars have a “telemetry” fuse, but I’ve never trusted that. They don’t explicitly say which part of the car does the spying and the reporting.
What antenna? The FM am antenna? There are probably multiple others hidden that are tiny (think mobile phones) if they want to so it without Our knowledge.
A cellphone doesn’t have a visible antenna, yet it transmits. I’m only saying this because I dont know about cars… are you removing the radio receiver antenna, or is there a cell phone antenna hidden in the car somewhere that can also be removed?
