I don't have any tips, but I wish I did. My car's just over a year old and I don't even like driving it since I found out it's spying on me all the time. The 'infotainment' system is also integrated with everything in the vehicle so turning it off isn't an option. I really like the car, but I feel like privacy is something that shouldn't have to be a consideration when buying a vehicle. I'm just about positive there's not a new vehicle available in the US market without one of these things in it unless you're buying fleet vehicles.
Sell it and get a old pickup truck. Those things go forever
