  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.

    i fucking predicted we would be jailbreaking cars eventually.

    and you bet they will come up with locked bootloaders.

    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.

    I’d rather poke the GSM modem with a screwdriver.

    Also, jammers are illegal pretty much everywhere.

  Not only what that other person said but it would probably void the warranty too.
