    Fyi some auto makers will “disable” the data collection and upload, if you call them and tell them to for your vehicle. Now whether they actually are disabling it is another story entirely…

    There are likely ways to “root” your car and take a look at exactly what is going on but I have no clue how.

        I’m assuming a local car shop will refuse to do this for you?

        Would there be any functionality side effects of doing this?

            Oh yeah, I meant an independent shop, not the official dealer. Thx for the info though. It’s digusting that cars collect so much.

            I found out that my car uploads driving metrics to the manufacturer constantly, including speed, braking metrics, nav info, etc.
