If buying new, I believe you can ask to have the modem removed from the vehicle, which wouldn't allow your car to access the internet. Haven't had the opportunity to try this myself yet, but very much plan on it for whatever vehicle I purchase new in the future.
I find it very hard to believe anyone selling a new car would pull the modem out of one.
I find it very believable they would tell they will pull it out. They really don’t give a shit and will say anything to get you buying a car.
Ha! I agree with you on that
Maybe an independent mechanic can do so then?
Maybe. I'd read a few of the other comments here though that seem to know what's involved first.
