Of course it can be done. Somewhere there is an LTE modem that can be physically disabled.

- quickslowdown 2y agoSince I don't see the normal reply to this completely predictable "you can just disable the hardware," I'll drop a TL;DR version of it: No you can't, not without voiding your warranty.
- yjftsjthsd-h 2y agoAnd since I don't see the normal reply to this completely predictable "that'll void your warranty," I'll drop a TL;DR version of it: IANAL, but I'm pretty sure the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnuson%E2%80%93Moss_Warranty_Act https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnuson%E2%80%93Moss_Warranty... says you can only void a warranty if the modification caused the problem. So no.
- reaperman 2y agoI'd half expect the infotainment system to just refuse to work at all if this was done in a simple way (like damaging or removing the modem). Then no stereo at all or Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. I suspect the "right" way to do this would be to ground the LTE antenna or faraday cage it or something like that. I'd expect cars to still work in remote areas or underground parking garages where there isn't any cell service, and this would simulate that.
