@Zergling_man @grey I get your reasoning, but I feel like the "don't buy any new x" is just a band-aid solution as all cars eventually die and given that a lot of people are fed up with the bullshit of new cars, I see used car prices skyrocketing in the coming years.

There truly is an untapped market for dumb cars, but given the heavy regulations in the car industry that prevents any newcomers, I don't see that happening anytime soon.

You can secure your privacy on modern cars, it just takes work. You can find bypass harnesses on a lot of forums, or plans to make them. You often have to crack open your dash and find the modem.

You can't just pull the fuse because almost every manufacturer wires it in such a way that if you pull the modem fuse, you loose bluetooth and one speaker (used for the on-star shit).

@djsumdog @grey @Zergling_man I never cared about bluetooth (I will always prefer auxiliary ports or cassette adapters) and every car I've owned had at least one dead speaker.
