Another reason to resort to an older shitbox without these "smart" features. Most of them have a modem always calling back home and even if you remove the fuse giving it power it'll just put the car in limp mode or throw big error messages and yell at you to see the dealer.

Any video of this?

I can't find one specifically about it, all results I find are abount people having trouble connecting their phones.

I remember reading it in a thread here about Mozilla's privacy finding on car companies but don't know if it was here in this Technology thread or another instance. Was somewhere in the comments.
