    Is there anything a mildly competent electronics enthusiast could do to disable any outbound data?

      Unfortunately not for the company I worked for, all I will say is it was one of the top 5 automakers in the world.

      I assume the others were also doing similar things in their cars.

      I unplugged the cellular modem in mine. But it was made last decade, so they probably make those harder to find now.

            Hard to say if it’s the same for most of the major auto makers, but from what I had been told by the head unit team, mostly everything for connected services was run through the head unit.
