   @Citizen423 @electronwarier I'm sure it depends on your store. we have 2 near here, one didn't even answer the phone, the other the dude definitely sounded like he knew what he was talking about. YMMV. Of course you can just do it yourself like I did, but it was an ordeal

     I would like to know more. Think what the TV is collecting.

     @electronwarier @Citizen423 I have a 2018 truck, I tore out the entire center dash system and related modules including the OnStar (not because I wanted to, touchscreen died and the whole thing became unusable), replaced it with 3rd party interface modules and a new radio. So unless they have a deliberate separate tracker device in there, you can replace it all with any brand that you trust. I did it myself, but if you go through best buy they'll install for free with purchase

     @electronwarier are there any good ways to cripple the microphone, geolocation tech, or any other input that's used to collect your data in these newet cars? I can't drive a 2001 Chevy truck forever. Someday I'll the old cars won't be available and I'll have to get a new one with all the electronic bullshit that can go bad, and now, track me.

     @electronwarier @Citizen423 all integrations with the OBD-2 and steering console buttons still work as they did before or even better, except I lost my USB charging port in the lower center compartment. but what I gained made it absolutely worth it, would do it again in any new vehicle (but preferably let BB handle it next time)

     Sounds like more than I am capable of doing.

     @electronwarier @Citizen423 I had no experience with such things and it was definitely not trivial and took me a few days worth of evenings and 3 or 4 phone calls to Crutchfield support. Next time I'd definitely do it through BB, apparently they price match and do the install for free if you buy from them

     @mh @Citizen423 For a similar system for the Honda, with a 100 watts rather than 25 watts, or whatever, they wanted nearly a $1000.

     @electronwarier @Citizen423 yeah I think I had about $2k in the project, mostly for the radio itself and interface module, then a bit more in the replacement dash trim, obscure wire connectors and related tools. It definitely isn't a cheap thing to do

     What happened to your basic stereo? That is when I started to figure out that the entertainment system is the brain for the surveillance system. For years I didn't have a cellphone, after starting car it would tell me "the phone is connected", but I don't have a phone.

     @electronwarier @Citizen423 the touchscreen completely died. i could still control it for a while with the steering wheel buttons, but every few months the "don't look at the screen while driving" notice would pop up, and there was no way to close that without the touchscreen, so after that came up again it was bricked.

     @electronwarier @Citizen423 upon second reading, I realize I may have misunderstood your, I think, rhetorical question. you can still get those totally basic CD player type stereo decks, but it still requires dash mods and you'll lose all the integration with steering console controls. its a trap

     @Citizen423 @electronwarier I can't find the pic where I had the whole setup laid out on a table in the basement, but this gives you an idea of what the process looked like
