Travelator@thelemmy.clubto Cars - For Car Enthusiasts@lemmy.world•Millions of Subarus could be remotely unlocked, tracked due to security flawsEnglish2·4 months agoThere’s a recall for that. They will replace your telematics module for free with a “bypass box”, which preserves the function of the front speakers, which stop working when you pull that fuse. Sorry I don’t know if this also ends the telematics phone home problem. This is specifically to address the battery drain problem. It fixed my similar battery issues.
Anybody know if it turns off the data uploads, or not?
Travelator@thelemmy.clubto Technology@lemmy.world•Subaru Security Flaws Exposed Its System for Tracking Millions of CarsEnglish3·4 months agoOn my 2019 Outback, I can kill this function by pulling the telematics fuse. But this also kills the front speakers. I need to look into disconnecting the antenna, but I’m a little unsure about removing the headliner to access the bottom of the antenna. Is there another way?

Travelator@thelemmy.clubto Technology@lemmy.world•I still don’t think companies serve you ads based on spying through your microphoneEnglish1·4 months agoAt this point, it’s the best I can do. I have tape on the selfie camera too. I guess I could bust this pixel 7a open and add physical switches to the cameras and mike, but I’m not real confident in my ability to pull that off. Maybe you can tell me how to do that.

I turn them on when needed. The OS and some apps like to bitch about this sometimes but it seems to be working ok.
My iphone does not offer these blanket blocking options. It’s a work phone, so I just leave it off unless I need it.

To fix the battery drain problem, you can add a jumper wire inside the main fuse box that makes it so the DCM is powered only when the car is running, not all the time. Details here:
