Mozilla did a research on it recently. And yes the infotainment system does send data to the insurance company in some countries. Do not use it unless you highly modify it to be privacy-respecting (which is illegal but whatever cuz privacy is more important)
What do you mean its illegal for me to modify my own car's sound system?!?
Absolutely can be. They have a SIM card or an alternative of it. It's registered and tampering with it can lead to stuff up to real jail time (IMEI change)
I didn't realize they update their research. I just thought they produced the one a few months ago that swept the internet. I'll check it out again, thanks.
