[23:50:45] <exec> 08└─When I bought my current car, a GM in 2014, I remove the antenna for the 'onstar' unit, and shorted the antenna lead with a resistor. All transmission attempts were lost as heat. Works quite well, and the system just thinks it is always out of range of cell towers. Downside? GPS/compass doesn't work...

[23:50:47] <exec> 08└─You can turn off your phone, leave it at home, or (supposedly) disable tracking. Cars however, are very 'black box' about some of this. Where's the off switch?
