Privacy concerns with '22 built in mobile features
My 2022 MINI Cooper S has the "feature" of having weather reports at your car's location, as well as a CNN news feed. This is done without a cell phone's presence. I guess you can also close the windows, or some other equally useful function, from your mobile phone, but I haven't gotten into that.
To my mind, it seems very easy for the powers that be to track your car, shut it off, etc.
Is there a way to disconnect this module?
