It depends on the car, but yes, you can pull a fuse. The component is called the DCM. If you do that though, you'll lose the front speakers and the microphone, which are routed through the DCM to support STARLINK-based cellular calls (like OnStar). The better solution is to disassemble the dash and replace the DCM with a bypass box, or yoink the cellular antenna cables as others have said. That's a bit of work for sure. I was lucky to have it done by Subaru under warranty service, in response to the 3G cell shutdown causing the DCM to malfunction and drain the battery.
Here's a chart of DCM fuse location by vehicle:
