So how do I disable Onstar so GM will stop selling my driving habits to insurance companies?

I checked the back of my obd port when I bought my truck back in 2019 but this thread got me paranoid seeing the ones behind my glovebox. Checked there and was good. Double checked the steering column and noticed some wires that didn't look stock. Followed them to a box haphazardly zip tied under the steering column. Got real worked up and was ready to get out the wire cutters before I remembered that it was the remote start/alarm unit that I installed myself lol. Glad I didn't have my cutters on me when I found it!

Holy thread bump, Batman.

Driving a cheap rental from Ace rent a car. I believe they have a tracker. Found it because it was hitting my foot. What do you think, leave it plugged in, or remove it while renting?

Just kidding, the rental agreement specifies that they are allowed to track

So are these hardwired into 2025 vehicles now? Shopping and wondering how much harder Apex has made to extract these devices. Really interested to see what new surprises the F150 has hidden.
