For my car (2024 GR Corolla) you can pull a fuse that goes to the telematics computer.
The car has a bad habit of calling the emergency hotline on a race track if you go over rumble strips (those painted red/white strips) because it shakes the car so violently I guess. Popping the fuse will make it stop happening.
- ProllyInfamous 3y agoOn my 2021 Camry, the fuse is labeled `DCS` — the only caveat is, it disables the front-right tweeter (there is a bypass, but requires you to remove the front dashboard and install jumpers across the DCS connector).
- stavros 3y agoThose are the two randomest things to couple together in a single fuse.
- ProllyInfamous 3y agoThe tracking module uses this speaker for Emergency Communications in the event of a crash.
- stavros 3y agoRight, but it doesn't have to be powered by the same fuse, no?
- sentientslug 3y agoI guess the point is that if the emergency module is powered the speaker by nature would also have to be powered. A fail safe of sorts.
- 1_1xdev1 3y agoworse in subaru's... both front speakers AND the mic. bluetooth phone calls no longer work, and, your music only comes from the back. similarly it is /possible/ though a giant PITA to take apart the front of your car and make those work again, per some blog post i saw 4 years ago and can no longer find.
- ProllyInfamous 3y ago>phone calls no longer work I think this is also true on the Toyotas, but I do not carry a phone with me so it's just me streaming tunes on the XM radio [don't think this tracks/listens]. >your music only comes from the back However, you barely notice the single missing tweeter, and it is *but a small item on my car-care maintenance list [to add back the sound via harness jumpter/bypass].
