Good luck. These days its not as simple as removing the "Onstar" box behind the radio. Everythings connected for updates and your car can and will tattle on you. I loathe having to ever buy something new.

Aside from covering all exterior and in car cameras and disabling or damaging microphones for audio systems and making you gps not work they are gonna get the data.

GPS and SiriusXM are receivers. They don't transmit. And even if they did... there is nothing listening.

Any transmitting from your car is cell or wifi. Make those go away, and you're 99.999% done.

Are the antennas built into the vehicle manager? If so wouldn't that disable the vehicle?

Kim Komondor just published about this topic. She offers a way to shut down the data tracking if I remember correctly.
