I wasn't speaking about awareness of the existence of tracking. I meant how to safely disable it.

My current vehicle is just about 20 years old, so I've never had one connected to the net before. I'm dreading the day this thing finally dies, and I have to find one that doesn't do that, or figure out how to kill the connection without affecting functionality.

Ah. I misread your post. Agreed.
