      Cool just like trying to replace a blower motor in a modern car feel free to rip the entire dash out only to find out it has a second antenna all the way in the back underneath the spare tire also behind a tail light which somehow requires you to remove the muffler to get to…

          If you can… Without breaking something vital thats on the same circuit as something so non-vital as turn signals or headlights. You know from the companies so smart as to not wire all… I mean all the positive hots through the ignition or light switch… Nothing like an ignition that’s 200°f.

      You’d probably have more luck installing a signal jammer in your car.

      The best you can hope for is a rootkit and some Linux-based OS for cars to be developed so you can take full control.

        FWIW there is a cottage industry for OnStar disable/delete mods for GM vehicles. It can be done, usually without breaking too much else of the car’s electronic functionality.
