You could just find and disable the wireless modems.
Cool just like trying to replace a blower motor in a modern car feel free to rip the entire dash out only to find out it has a second antenna all the way in the back underneath the spare tire also behind a tail light which somehow requires you to remove the muffler to get to....
Or just pull this fuse for the module?
brb, i have a muffler, a spare, and an entire dash to remove immediatly.
You'd probably have more luck installing a signal jammer in your car.
The best you can hope for is a rootkit and some Linux-based OS for cars to be developed so you can take full control.
i fucking KNEW we would be jailbreaking cars eventually.
and you bet they will come up with locked bootloaders.
Also, jammers are illegal pretty much everywhere.
FWIW there is a cottage industry for OnStar disable/delete mods for GM vehicles. It can be done, usually without breaking too much else of the car's electronic functionality.
I'd rather poke the GSM modem with a screwdriver.
if you can find it, and all it's backups..
Not only what that other person said but it would probably void the warranty too.
