I have a fuse card for my 2022 MINI Cooper S Sidewalk Edition convertible (card attached), but don't see any such label on it. Has anyone bothered to figure out what fuse controls this behavior, and what if any useful functions would be disabled if it were unplugged?

I'm not terribly concerned about the phoning home, as I mostly obey speed limits, and aim for maximum mileage. That said, I'd rather have the choice of whether my car phones home or not.
