If it’s anything like my 2001, there will be. (It’s the damn horn. The relay. It’s wired in there with a bunch of other important shit, like cruise control. So, when i use the fob to lock the door, it doesn’t simply chirp, it wholeass honks. Any efforts and documentation to silence this feature have been a failure. So I unplugged one horn and tried again and found out there were two.) I’ve been tempted to run a separate wire from the battery to the horn but I’m still toying with a wiring diagram about it because if I’m gonna rig it, I’d prefer to do it correctly, and only once😂 Good luck with your mic, though.

Pika@sh.itjust.works 11 months agois there any reason you can’t disconnect the mic? or do you use the onstar feature. I disabled mine as I don’t use it nor plan to in the immediate future due to the subscription costs being extortionary

Just that I haven’t done the necessary research to figure out how exactly. Another response to my first post in this thread by @evasive_chimpanzee that links to a guide on how to disable the OnStar module, which would disable the mic, GPS tracking, etc.
Now, my car also has Starlink which, you can call and cancel, but that doesn’t keep them from tracking you. So my task will involve disabling two different things.
But all that to say, there’s nothing keeping me from disabling the mic, OnStar module, and Starlink except it’s not something that’s really meant for consumers to do and I’m still early in the process of studying up on how to do it.
