I want to buy a new car, but it needs to be privacy friendly. Sadly you cannot really buy any new Car that is.

Has anybody any experience on making your modern car not phone home to its company, by removing the hardware it uses to do?

It's entirely dependent on what car you buy, they're all different. On some cars it's integral to the ECU or some other component. On other cars like my Subaru it's a box you just remove, then you'll need a custom harness to make the speaker audio work again.

Without saying what car it is nobody can help you without saying "just unplug it".

Looks like you should start a guide because you know a lot more than me
