I'd want bluetooth for music from my phone though. And it'd be nice if my phone's cellular and GPS didn't get blocked.
Isn't your phone far more connected to your identity than your car? As in, if your worried about Toyota or Ford tracking your vehicles driving statistics it seems using GPS and wifi and Bluetooth on your phone that also has all your payment info, browsing history, and all your passwords saved defeats the entire purpose of worrying about your car. However, at least your phone gives you a benefit to using it like navigation and music, your car just mines your location data.
Privacy is not just black and white.
But then the car can send the data via unprotected WiFi spots. I don't think you can turn off autoconnect.
