Instead it will just store all the data locally and then upload it once it gets the airgap broken when the mechanic plugs it in.
The only safe solution here is to remove the sensors that collect the data. But I haven’t yet found aftermarket guides on how to do this with any major new car.
Had anyone published a guide on how to strip these sensors yet?
Yes there’s a YouTube video for various disable techniques via fuses or jumper wire kits. Such as this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e09Kjj2awG0
You could just pull out the LTE/IoT module, and disconnect the service…
Whether that will have major down sides for the usability of the vehicle is the big question.
No, that won’t work.

Indeed, how do we remove this too :(. Crazy how many hoops we have to jump on things we “own”
