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?

If everyone (not just you!) would go to buy a new car with the plan to get a fair win-win deal for everyone then the dealer wouldn't have to find all these ways to nickel and dime you on extras.

Yeah I'm going to be honest, you're not going to be finding much sympathy for car dealership owners from me. Maybe it's different around you, but around these parts they're invariably some of the richest people in town.
