This is exactly why I bought a car that has a fuse for the Data Communication Module (DCM) that I have pulled, and I will never buy another car unless I can physically disconnect anything in it that sends radio transmissions.
- worik 2y agoThere needs to be a central repository of instructions to do this for different models of car Is there one?
- spockz 2y agoIn my case I can’t drive my car then because the RF also handles the location beacon which is required for the class 3 alarm system which is needed for the insurance. Without insurance you can’t drive. So there are many situations where unfortunately this is not an option.
- toast0 2y agoI can see where an insurance company would want a beacon if they're covering your risk of theft, but that's not the mandatory part of insurance.
- ThePowerOfFuet 2y agoSounds like the problem is the insurance company.
- theendisney 2y agoOne could do really cheap insurance if you monitor and record the customer 24/7 with real time adjustments! The strangest things would end up costing money. Cheap cloths would suggest the wrong kind of social life, expensive would invite robbery. A profile for each song you play and one for those you've listened to. etc
- kobalsky 2y agoI don't live in the US but when the insurance wanted my car "lo-jacked" I just changed to a different insurance company, it's still a choice.
- spockz 2y agoIndeed. However, in NL, there are very few insurers that insure cars above a certain value without these class 3 systems. The threshold value differs slightly but for the larger family cars (especially better equipped ones) they almost all meet the requirements for higher class security. Luckily none of the "driving style" measurements though.
