    I was speaking to a mechanic once and he said they offered a service where they’d go into the car and and physically disable the communications chip on the vehicle. So everything would function normally, but the car would be unable to transmit data. It sounds like a technically feasible solution.

    I’ve since spent many hours online looking for tutorials, information, or stories and found almost nothing. Has anyone else hears about anything like this or have any experience?

    I’d love to be able to start some kind of wiki for how to disable those chips for different make and models of cars.
