Has anyone disabled telematics / LTE and GPS antennas?

Are you calling it childish because it hits home?

No. I'm calling it childish because using words like "stupid" involves emotion. Children are more likely to not be able to separate logic and emotion.

I didn't say it was stupid to be concerned about security and privacy. I said it was stupid to try and disable Telematics on the Jeep and use security as a reason

Why is it stupid to try and disable network connectivity on a vehicle when it's not needed? That's Cybersecurity 101. Don't connect something to the network and introduce a risk if it's not needed.

when you pack around a phone that tracks you and reports back to multiple providers, agencies, etc.

I can disable that if I want. Less data collection is better for me than more data collection.

There are no unauthorized updates from Jeep. You authorized all of them when you purchased the vehicle. If you don't want a connected vehicle, then don't buy one that is.

I want a Gladiator but I don't authorize strangers connecting to my vehicle's software and potentially modifying my vehicle. "Trust me bro" isn't good enough.

Again - Cybersecurity 101.

And I thought I was just lazy for not getting the right tool for the job. I'm just being stupid! I feel much better now, thank you.

Always glad to help! LOL

By their definition, I was stupid for not using an inductive heater on the body bolt I broke.

I can probably come up with about 1,000 other times.

I am going to leave this here for all the naysayers that believe Stellantis isn't selling your data...

Frankly, there are far more important things for me to hype out about. Things that will really matter for me and millions and actually impact my life. Sorry more important things to care about than someone selling my trip info for marketing info. If you use the internet, fake ook, insta crap, gmail and play any games.........

I randomly look up stupid stuff just to confuse all the people that have hacked into my data. Have they actually hacked into my data? No idea, but if they have and are looking at all the stupid stuff that I looked at it makes me feel good.

Unless you use VPN and have other "accessories" protecting you - heck, your visits here are followed by bots.
Our AMC forum has been hit SO HARD by bots, we're having to look into using cloudflare.

I'd be the happiest person in the world if all I had to be concerned about is some company selling how I drive or where I drive.
I already voluntarily allow the insurance company to follow me around - saves me several hundred a year. Who cares.
I'm far more concerned about important things in the country and world, and in our own home with our health things going on.
