Modern cars are computers on wheels that send home nonstop telemetry about you. In this post I remove my 2024 RAV4 Hybrid's modem and GPS to prevent that :)
Important: Even after the modem is removed, if you connect your phone to the car via Bluetooth then the car will use your phone as an internet connection and send all the same telemetry data back to Toyota.
Does iOS still not ask fully what the user wants to use the Bluetooth connection for? As bad as Android is I can’t imagine it doing something like that without asking.
that is so fucking insidious
Data will find a way.

But one can also disable bluetooth tethering?
Can you use the phone to only allow Bluetooth media but nothing else?
At least on my pixel, I’ve got a setting to enable or disable sharing phones internet to bluetooth connections.
I don’t seem to have this on my S23
