> As far as I know, there is no (legal) way to deactivate OnStar or similar GPS trackers Naively... Is it illegal to cut the power to the GPS unit? I do not see why a car needs a GPS built in. So why can I not simply disable it? What am I missing?

It's inside a complicated box that you can't reach.

  Not with that attitude you can't.

    Maybe you can, but what about the 99.99999% of the population that can't.

      Why am I special? Any mod anyone would want to make to a car has a YouTube video associated with it. And for real, to borrow your number, that is true 99.99999% of the time.

  That complicated box has an antenna. Disconnect (and ideally terminate) the input and no more spying.

    That often requires removing the dash and radio, and possibly voiding a warranty or lease agreement.

  Is it illegal to reach this box?
