What if:

My car doesn't have a cellular connection? Does it still spy?

I have SatNav, but it doesn't have a hotspot/wifi/cell, does it so collect data somehow? I'm guessing somehow over GPS/sat maybe?

Some cars used 3G cellular connections, which is no longer active in most countries.

The only countries with active networks are Croatia, Hong Kong, Ireland, Italy, Slovenia, and South Korea.
