What in this Jeep is spying on us?

If you wear an aluminum foil hat while in your jeep, you will be fine

Actually it works better to wrap your whole jeep in it. And then be sure to replace your windows and windshield with these:

Like I said, you would know…

FWIW practically every car sold in the US in the last five years has some form of data collection. Such as the recorder that saves the last 10 seconds of data after a collision (were you speeding, when did you apply the brakes, etc.) that can be used in court or sent to your insurance company.

This is easy: strip the entire power train, dashboard, and everything with a wire on it off the chassis.

Replace all that shit with a crate motor, trans, etc., 1 ton suspension, then have a custom coach work guy build you a new dashboard/interior.

That should remove all the spyware. You'll also probably have a more reliable truck, and as previously mentioned, the head unit will behave itself

What concerns me about the data collection, and the reason for this post is, what happens when you start deleting things off your jeep? Does your jeep rat you out? Is it better to block data transfer, before you come back online. What happens when you go dark…and you aren’t sending data back to jeep for them to sell?

This site has more than it’s share of morons…

You forgot intentional knuckleheads.

I can only think of two ways this matters:
1) warranty fights, and then the dealership will notice whatever you changed anyway when they have the truck in the shop.
2) emissions changes that the state cares about (see people in NJ getting in trouble for DEF deleting) and again, that's going to be a problem for inspection anyway.

Warranty decisions are made at the dealership. If you make changes that may be an issue, that is where it will be noticed.

The vehicle is programmed to upload specific data points on a regular basis. The email you are complaining about is the truck computer reporting a problem that it noticed. The email is a courtesy reminder to have it looked at to see if it really is an issue.

Jeep uses Uconnect.... which is similar to Onstar (GM). So YES - you are constantly connected to Stellantis. Anytime you have the ability to press a button to summon emergency services or some other 'connected service' (without your cell phone or cell signal) - Big Brother can be watching.

When I owned a GMC Canyon and was running around on the Canyon forums..... and from what I remember, someone actually found the magical Onstar Box/controller. The thought was......the only way to be completely disconnected, was by literally pulling the plug out of that Onstar box. I don't know if anyone had the guts to actually do it - because (like our Jeeps), the vehicle would probably explode with errors and shit wouldn't work.

I honestly don't believe they're spying on you - unless the police have requested it. And I don't think they're giving our information to others (unless they get hacked). Hell.... you're more susceptible to being hacked or spied upon simply by getting on Facebook!!!

This thread has potential.

This makes, what, about 6 tin foil threads now?

Well let me enlighten you then…I get an email from something called Jeep Service, it tells me I have a powertrain malfunction light. The email gives me the address and phone number of the nearest dealer to me. Big brother is watching and knows who - what - where.

And that is spying??

Like they said, and has been said in other threads asking the exact same thing this year - simply contact Sirius GUARDIAN (not XM, they are radio only) and make sure everything is cancelled, including the FREE trial period.
I hardly think that a reminder email that you have a warning light is really spying, but whatever. People are really uptight these days..

I suggest after you contact Sirius Guardian, you drill holes in your cell phone and run over it a few times with a Jeep............. and go back to a 1990s TV, never use Google anything, don't use anything Amazon, stay clear of fakebook, instacrap, tikytaky, and make sure you don't run Microsoft products - my wife looked up some quilt fabric and now, on a totally DIFFERENT computer with the Mickysoft browser, I get ads for quilting products.

A farmer friend cleared a bunch of brush from his grove, piled it up and burned it - next day he got a visit from the county boys.
He'd have been fine not moving and burning it...
How did they see all of this? Some suggest satellite imagery, who knows.
But they nailed him

Yes, everyone is watching.......

This thread has potential.

As in potential energy? Perhaps some negative charge?

what happens when you start deleting things off your jeep?

Nothing, other than perhaps warranty issues if something breaks later and so on.
You can delete the whole engine and no one cares.
What's it going to do - report to mama "he took off my cats!"

Potential Shitshow.

Welcome to planet earth?

People wonder - if aliens exist, why haven't we seen them or heard from them?
My response - they came here looking for intelligent life, and went back home telling their leaders - 'nothing to report'. Class M planet with no signs of intelligent life.
