I bought a car. I’m trying to get Toyota to stop sending telemetry. I call support. They tell me I can just sign in with the app and make changes.
I point out that installing and using the app bind...
Contemptible of Toyota, but unsurprising. Don't overthink your solution, though.
1. Find antenna
2. Snip antenna
3. ???
4. Freedom!
If you're not using its always-online features, you lose exactly nothing. And given that the car must lose comms regularly already (road tunnels, "black spots", underground car parks) it won't have been spitefully set to brick.
