I want to buy a new car, but it needs to be privacy friendly. Sadly you cannot really buy any new Car that is.

Has anybody any experience on making your modern car not phone home to its company, by removing the hardware it uses to do?

Probably, but exactly what you do would depend on your exact model. I would get the technical service manual for your vehicle, find the part about replacing that module, and follow the directions to remove it.

Is it even in the manual though?

He means the manual repair shops use. It lists how to replace pretty much every single component in your car.

I know. I’m curious if it’s listed in there or if it’s ommited.
