This is exactly why I bought a car that has a fuse for the Data Communication Module (DCM) that I have pulled, and I will never buy another car unless I can physically disconnect anything in it that sends radio transmissions.
There needs to be a central repository of instructions to do this for different models of car
Is there one?
In my case I can’t drive my car then because the RF also handles the location beacon which is required for the class 3 alarm system which is needed for the insurance. Without insurance you can’t drive. So there are many situations where unfortunately this is not an option.
I can see where an insurance company would want a beacon if they're covering your risk of theft, but that's not the mandatory part of insurance.
Sounds like the problem is the insurance company.
One could do really cheap insurance if you monitor and record the customer 24/7 with real time adjustments! The strangest things would end up costing money. Cheap cloths would suggest the wrong kind of social life, expensive would invite robbery. A profile for each song you play and one for those you've listened to. etc
I don't live in the US but when the insurance wanted my car "lo-jacked" I just changed to a different insurance company, it's still a choice.
Indeed. However, in NL, there are very few insurers that insure cars above a certain value without these class 3 systems. The threshold value differs slightly but for the larger family cars (especially better equipped ones) they almost all meet the requirements for higher class security. Luckily none of the "driving style" measurements though.
