If I have to buy a "new" car someday, I'm cutting off every antenna I see.
Unable to contact servers; boot loop, car won't start; manufacturer sues you for breaking licensing agreement with unapproved modifications
That's why we need right to repair
And a corporate death penalty, if I had my druthers.
I'm against the death penalty, so corporate disbandanment
Classic cars for me then
my classic car is a 2005😎
Unfortunately just like your cell phone we don't really need external antennas anymore. In a lot of cases there's not even a wire inside you can easily cut, just traces deep on the board
What I've been reading about on that subject is that cars often have a Telematics Control Unit or TCU that can actually be disabled if you can find it. It's a box that plugs in to the wiring harness. They also have antennas that could be connected by a wire that you could locate, giving us another option to disable them by just disconnecting the antenna wire. That way the TCU could still talk to the main computers but not be able to send out its data.
If it doesn't have a wire you could always put in a little faraday cage.
