It's not so much the GPS, as like it was said, I have a cell phone and no bady would track me anyway.
What it is, is a friend told me that onstar can listen to all your conversations in the BMW....I found that very strange and definitely not very cool. I would not want a microphone in my house or car.
Not black helicopters, I just like my verbal privacy :dunno:
Good to know--I was told it was disconnected after being unused for "long enough." It would be nice to know if "long enough" elapses before or after the car is eventually torn apart for recycling. :rofl:
I was actually kidding about my first post. I'd be less concerned about someone listening in through the telematics system than I would be about the OBD data. That is my actual concern.
I think you should get rid of your cell phone.
Then you want to disconnect the power to the TCU or Mulf.
Then you shouldd buy survival gear and move into a remote
part of Canada or Alaska.
Be sure that you are under a thick forest so you can't be observed
by satellite.
And no Internet whatever you do.

I think you should move to Cuba, or even better Gattica. You can move next door to Ernest Borgnine. You will love it there....they watch every move you make. It's awesome.
Is there anyway to make connected drive think my car is in a different country, of my choice?
