    If you just want it off that can be done too, but it depends on the vehicle as to where the modem is. For my Jeep its behind the head unit and seems to be a major pain to get to, but really its just a couple pieces of trim and a headunit in the way.

    The only reason I haven’t is because I want to just get rid of it and get something more basic.

      Kit cars. Just have a car with basic sensors for safety and all that jazz and no computers or telemetry whatsoever. There is no law requiring them.

      Black boxes on cars only record the last 5 seconds to account for what happened in a crash. I can live with that.

      I can use a DAP or hand radio for entertainment. No need for the computerized system. I never used those anyway. For GPS I would either do paper maps or use a passive GPS that does not transmit.
