    Unless your car is older than 2010, there’s almost a 100% chance your car has a data connection and is collecting data. I’m not sure what you think you’re the exception to the rule.

      2012 Toyota. Toyota T-Connect didn’t become available until 2014.

      It’s also a paid service! It requires a sim card and a plan, and would have relied on the factory entertainment unit which I have removed.

      I think you are mistaking ‘black box’ type data logging with an always-on internet connection phoning home with the ability to turn features on and off which is a more recent and far more sinister phenomenon.
