I want to completely block any vehicle based internet communications (maybe with a faraday cage?) that only blocks connectivity for the car itself, while leaving my ability to use my phone completely alone.

Mozilla found that almost every manufacturer has very invasive data collection policies and collect a ton of data about you.

I want to completely prevent any data being sent to the manufacturer remotely. That way I can just go to a third party shop for vehicle maintenance and prevent them from collecting any data whatsoever.

How would I go about doing that, or talk to a mechanic to disable the built in cell connection of the car entirely?
