I want to buy a new car, but it needs to be privacy friendly. Sadly you cannot really buy any new Car that is.

Has anybody any experience on making your modern car not phone home to its company, by removing the hardware it uses to do?

    Yeah, that’ll most likely disable the car / limit it. They often have anti-tamper detection in critical ECUs as well.

      Your comment makes me wonder if one could get around AT by installing faraday cages around where the chips are.

      I block telemetry on my IoT devices and they still work. I’m curious if cars would be bricked if they couldn’t call home, or if you could selectively allow certain messages through.
