I've worked in embedded software for more than ten years. Do not trust anything with an antenna.
yeah went looking for car insurance quotes and every single one of them offers like a 10% discount if you run snitchware in your car
Years ago you could buy a device that let you plug those trackers in but then take them into your house (or wherever, out of your car) while still powered on. So you could take the most conservative little drive at the easiest and mist empty time of day, remove the device, and drive normally for your actual driving. After the monitor period your rates would go way down because you braked and accelerated like a grandma and barely drove your car per the records.
We must have had VERY different grandmas...
waiting for google to get desperate for more revenue and just handing over all the map data to car insurance companies
rates will change. nobody will know why. then it will come out as a bombshell in a few years, nobody will care, congress stomp their feet, etc etc. it becomes the new normal
Reminds me I still need to rip the cellular transceiver out of my car.
If you're worried about resale you might be able to pull the fuse for the OnStar system I'm not sure if they're separate or not, my car's too old for that.
Anyone knows any good resources for finding the Sim cards on different models?
