Depends on how old, but OnStar has been around since before 2000.
Early implementations may have been less creepy, but I’m not sure there’s any way to know.

Depends on the vehicle. Mine is mid-2010s but no internet connection to my knowledge—unless they’ve been paying for it in secret without telling me. Doesn’t seem especially likely.

Mime is from 2016 and does. There’s no outward indication (the smartest thing exposed to the driver is Sirius XM), but the salesman told me it could be located in the event of theft, and it has microphones in it.

Interesting. Well maybe I’ll have to do some research.
