Ah, the wind in your hair, the open road ahead, and not a care in the world… except all the trackers, cameras, microphones, and sensors capturing your every move. Ugh. Modern cars are a privacy nightmare.

I have a 2014 car that isn't connected to anything. The smartest thing there is the Bluetooth radio.

Does it have an option for satellite radio?

Nope.

I doubt that it is as easy to install or root a system on a car as it is on a phone. So that's a shitty perfectionist fallacy.
