Now you know which brands to avoid!
- kgwxd 5y agoSo that leaves Hot Wheels.
- 1024core 5y agoHonda, Subaru, Tesla too.
- twobitshifter 5y agoTesla may not work with this tool but they’re definitely beaming data home all the time. If your privacy Conscious I wouldn’t think Tesla spoiled be on your list.
- brokenmachine 5y agoAlso if your Tesla crashes itself, Tesla will release only enough data to tarnish you, even if you weren't actually driving.
- quickthrowman 5y agoDon’t forget Mazda!
- SyzygistSix 5y agoVolvo is not on the list. Yet.
- soco 5y agoAny one left out of that list? Should I assume if I see one PSA-owned brand (for example), all PSA will be under contract and just not named because the list was too big? I'm just confused...
- 1024core 5y agoHonda, Subaru, Tesla to name some.
- yeetawayhn 5y agoMazda, Mitsubishi, Nissan
- malcolmgreaves 5y agoWell, at least that leaves Honda & Acura as well as Subaru and probably a bunch more regional brands I'm unaware of. Also I suppose Tesla...but we all know how much telemetry data those cars send back to base.
- mywittyname 5y agoSubaru is partially owned by Toyota and is slowly being absorbed into the company.
- annoyingnoob 5y agoMy Volvo has a cellular radio in it that I cannot disable with pulling a fuse for a bunch of things. I've always assumed that the car uploads everything to Volvo without my knowledge or permission. I'll bet law enforcement can just ask Volvo for my data without needing a tool.
- StavrosK 5y agoI mean, though, you can always disable a cellular radio, it's just a matter of finding it.
- annoyingnoob 5y agoThere is a SIM card in the glove box that supports the Infotainment system and in-car hotspot if you want. I pulled that one out. The car still has another one, somewhere, as I occasionally get calls into the car but I don't pay for that service. I found the fuse for the factory phone but not the SIM, you're right its somewhere but for all I know its not removeable.
- StavrosK 5y agoYou'll probably need to do at least some disassembly to get to it (maybe next time you take the car for servicing). Then you can either wrap the antenna in some aluminum foil or just cut it (which would probably fry the transmitter). I agree, though, all our devices are becoming hostile to us.
- a1369209993 5y ago> or just cut it (which would probably fry the transmitter). I'd recommend physically removing the entire transmitter (the electronics can be removed with a chisel), but if you're trying to fry the transmitter, don't cut the antenna; that leaves a undamaged but low gain transmitter a la [0] (though probably not powerful enough to detect outside the vehicle). Instead, short the antenna to a power rail (or ground, but V!=0 is more likely to damage it) to fry the transmitter and also keep it from moving the antenna voltage enough to transmit anything. 0: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sQF_K9MqpA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sQF_K9MqpA (at 17:06)
