But how can you really be sure? Lte chips are small. Also what if you take it in for service and they pull the data ๐
By refusing to own any car manufactured after the technology became available. That's my strategy, anyway.
(It's also 'cause I like things like manual transmissions that are harder to find on newer vehicles.)
I can't, but worrying about hidden LTE chips is s path that leads to madness. Unless I ditch all tech, there's no way to be sure.
For the data pull, yeah. I tend to avoid dealers though so I'm not sure that there is much incentive for my mom & pop service station to monetize my data.
