If your curious about what and how much data your vehicle is spewing out to whom, the sit is called "PRIVACY4CARS", here is the link: https://privacy4cars.com/
Ive been using it for a while, Ive run vins on new Denali's sitting at dealers, you can run your own vin, goto the top wher it say "For Consumers", you will get a roll down, then hit "Vehicle Privacy Report", you will then get a good idea what your vehicle is doing, click on the icons starting at the right top, they will tell you what it is then have a "YES", "NO, or "SILENT", then look at the info produced by your vin on the rest of the page, you will then want to keep your vin covered, enjoy the rest of the site, it has much more info.
Im currently helping a friend who purchased a new Ram Limited, so Im trying to figure out how to do things without affecting the warranty, as for when I get my new Denali, I have already figured out what to do, there wont be a phone attached to it so I'll be using a data plan on the infotainment system supplied by OnStar, I want to do an experiment to see if and what the dealer service computers receive by shutting certain things down, just so you know, Im very serious about my privacy, right now its the wild west for data harvesting, you can thank the politicians for letting this get out of hand.
Just for fun here is a silly hypothetical scenario, are there companies that want to know when you use the toilet or what hand you wipe your butt with??, the answer is HELL YA, your infotainment system GPS has recorded you visit Taco Bell 3 times a week then you abuse your self more by visiting Chipotle's on the weekend, the toilet paper manufactures will pay for this info, then your Amazon Echo or Google Home with their microphones will hear how many times you flush the toilet, this is data mining gold, their not supposed to listen to people talk, but they can listen to other things, now that we've established you use a lot of toilet paper, data from many other people in your area shows they do almost the same thing or very similar, then you go to the store in your area to buy toilet paper, and you say to yourself, why is toilet paper more expensive on average in my area, the problem here is, its done with everything, never thank a politician, always back hand them.
