For any owners concerned with privacy....

I just took ownership of a 2025 Mojave X. I am coming from a 2021 Willy's that had a 5-inch screen and minimal technology.

One of my first orders of business was opting out of all data/telematic services offered by the vehicle.

My first phone call was to this number:

which seemingly seemed only to be Sirius Guardian.

When I received my vehicle, I received the typical 'Welcome' emails which included enrolling into Jeep Connect.

I never ended up enrolling and the Guardian rep confirmed that there was no telematic data being transmitted to Sirius themselves due to my lack of enrollment with the exception of the following scenarios:

1. An accident were to occur that causes airbags to deploy
Or
2. The vehicle is stolen and a police report is filed in which Sirius Guardian can work with law enforcement to help track down the vehicle.

Of course that's only what they told me. If true, I'm not fully bothered by it.

They did recommend I reach out to the following two phone numbers to further inquire about opting out of the (potential) day-to-day telematic tracking that may still be present

One is at Stellantis HQ and the other is at uConnect's supposed telematic division directly.

Stellantis:

(800) 777-3600

uConnect:

(877) 855-8400

I did not get the opportunity to ring the other two but intend on it tomorrow and will report back.

Am sharing in case anyone else wants to call. I didn't think to ask with Sirius but intend to w/ Stellantis, and that is to request in writing (an email) that my VIN has in fact been removed from any telematic/data collecting services.

Kind of crazy this even has to be occurring after the purchase of a truck but that's the world we live in now.

God speed

They will just tell you they remove it, but will keep gathering the data. Any penalty if you were somehow able to prove they kept collecting your data after opting out is pennies on the dollar compared to what they get for your data.

Same as most other things that are tracking anyone. You got to prove they are. A couple of Fed organizations are doing the same with certain lists that are specifically not allowed by multiple law that have been passed but they still do.

Yep, the data is more valuable than any penalties.

The 1-800 number turned out to be Jeep Connect and I was able to remove my truck from the account altogether (despite not even being enrolled) which is cool. Again, I agree whole heartedly with everyone that this is probably meaningless but I'll go through the motion anyways.

Now to figure out if the OTA updates my truck wouldve received can be found online and downloaded via USB or has to be updated by the dealer.

Thank you for posting. I don’t have any illusions that they will do what they say they are doing, but will run through it anyways.
