Until there's adequate regulation to prevent this, someone really needs to setup a database with technical info about the telematics units in different cars, with instructions about how to physically disable them (and maybe products to make doing so easier). Some ideas: * Some kind of wiring harness or device that allows the telematics unit to be disconnected completely without affecting other car functions (e.g. I've read sometimes the in-car microphone routes through them, so disabling it can cause hands-free calling to not work). * A fake CANbus that lies to the telematics unit, which it will then pass on fake data to the data brokers (e.g. you are driving 25mph all the time, every time, and gently coming to a stop every 5 minutes). * A mod to replace the cell-network antenna with a dummy load (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dummy_load https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dummy_load).
