MODERATORS
All cars now have these:
That's the AM/FM antenna and data antenna. Remove it, wrap the data antenna in foil. Or, just unplug it.
A sharkfin antenna is just a design feature. It says nothing about what data is being transmitted.
You think a dealer would unplug it as part of a sale? Never bought a car at a dealership yet.
It's unlikely that any dealer would disable features. They'll tell you they can't do it for "liability" reasons.
