Honestly, I’m not sure how much you will achieve by removing the antenna. Especially when you use a cell phone and computer. What is it about car manufacturers that you are trying to hide from?
That sounds like a slippery slope. Your argument could be used each time a different device adds tracking until you're saying "why disable your underwear tracking device, when you already use a phone and a car?".
Plus, if you care about privacy, you can always use a Linux PC 99% of the time and a de-googled Android 99% of the time.
MORE data collection is never good, wanted or needed.
Wasn’t intending to invalidate OP wanting privacy, I just don’t think that removing the antenna will do what they want.
Your argument is purposefully obtuse tho, lol. Underwear tracking… lol.
I could limit tracking with Custom ROMs and Faraday bags for my portable devices. What can I do about a car?
