I don't believe my car is connected to the internet, thankfully, but I dislike the idea that the data may be stored somewhere in the system. Any idea whether there's a hack to access and remove the data yet?
Currently, nothing is shared through the car (audio only, enjoy my boring music habits) but that was not always the case.
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
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.
