My current car is old. I had a lot of repairs done on it recently. If I get a new car, I don’t want features. Lane assist, backup camera, DUI Camera, telemetry, auto breaking or other frankly silly features. Call me grumpy, but I find modern cars very distracting.
Can I ask a dealership to disable these at purchase? Is there a car that works best for being private besides just older cars?
I drive very little in a year. No, I can’t ride a bike.
All cars now have these:
That’s the AM/FM antenna and data antenna. Remove it, wrap the data antenna in foil. Or, just unplug it.
You think a dealer would unplug it as part of a sale? Never bought a car at a dealership yet.
It’s unlikely that any dealer would disable features. They’ll tell you they can’t do it for “liability” reasons.
A sharkfin antenna is just a design feature. It says nothing about what data is being transmitted.
