Aug 24, 2023 at 14:54 comment added Reinstate Monica In my answer here I talk about removing the cell modem from a Tesla. I'm not sure if a Kia would react the same but every car needs to be able to function without connectivity because some areas have no cell service.

Mar 17, 2017 at 9:41 comment added Nick C I think the only true answer to this is to refuse to buy any car that has such a device fitted - and make it known to the dealership why you are doing so. If enough people did so they'd stop fitting them (or stop telling you...)
Mar 16, 2017 at 17:15 comment added Hari Is there no "off" button for it? Legitimately curious because many things on modern car infotainment systems have settings to control functionality. On the other hand, I've got a great example of where a setting exists, but it's useless.

Jan 14, 2017 at 13:35 comment added J Kelly I don't want a smartphone app. I don't want help finding my car in a parking lot. I hate taking directions from a gps. I don't make phone calls while driving. I won't pay for satellite radio. I find the whole computer distracting, but I would probably use it to play normal radio (if it can) and for whatever charging management functions it has. Mostly I mind that it's sending my data out, either broadcasting to sensors "hey here I am" or giving Kia a map of where I go regularly. I don't want it collecting my voice recognition data. Sorry, tech privacy curmudgeon.
Jan 14, 2017 at 13:30 comment added J Kelly Yes, I guess I do mean UVO, and I'm not above removing an antenna.
Jan 14, 2017 at 5:30 comment added Ben Short of removing the antenna (means losing gps/radio/sirius) module I don't think you'll be able to do what you want. If you're feeling adventurous pull the antenna module and take a look at the board.
