- jeffbee 3mo agoYou can disable connectivity in any car by pulling fuses.
- olyjohn 3mo agoYeah but sometimes that disables other things too. Like when I pulled the fuse on my car for the radio, it disabled the power door locks and the door/headlight chime. Not every item gets it's own circuit.

Disabling data collection shouldn’t disable entire major features like lane centering and navigation. Even tech giant spyware companies like Google offer offline maps.
