There are usually a few fuses you can pull that disable a lot of the connected services.
Yeah I considered it. That said I use the home assistant integration to make my car charge at slowest speed needed to timely charge it overnight for better bsttery health and I have it schedule remote start at 4:55 only when I am at work and the temperature is extremely hot or cold. Those smarter things has made me a little happier with the loss of privacy.
I guess I just got lucky, the added features didn't run off the same fuse as the telemetry part. Which is kinda strange.
Yeah I read Toyota made them combined in modern cars. Toyota also designed a lot with this car so I passed on this for now. If the convenient stuff is ever gone I may opt for it.
