The fascists are already dismantling the CFPB. I’m sure the FTC will be on the chopping block soon, too.
So who’s going to stop them when they flagrantly ignore the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act and refuse to honor your warranty for having your car serviced somewhere other than a dealer?
And who’s going to stop them from claiming you did either way?
The warranties are trash anyway. I’m not for the warranties in the first place, just pointing out that you could claim plausible deniability if you needed to while still ensuring they don’t get to surreptitiously send your driving data to your insurance company.
Them: Hey Sal! We got another liar that says he didn’t go through the 20 steps to disconnect the telemetry and thinks we’re gonna believe that some tire inflater just did him a solid without telling him…
I don’t really understand what you’re arguing for. This is !privacy@lemmy.ml, yet you seem more concerned with keeping your warranty valid than privacy.
Tempering with it will breach your warranty.
Included warranties are typically very short and extended warranties are worthless.
some merit here older car, just cut it out and own it properly lol
Lots of it is tied to the ecu now, which can’t be tampered with if you live in a state with emissions inspections.
I’m planning to when stuff starts failing though. And I will likely be installing a homemade OBD2 reporter so that it’ll keep passing.
I don’t live in CA though, I wouldn’t mess with it then, the do tailpipe confirmation, and deeper inspections for CARB parts.
Only if they find out.
well not getting all that data will be a tell tale lol
Easy solution: plausible deniability. Play dumb.
“I dunno, man. I just turn the car on and off. I don’t know anything about car computers or whatever.”
Them: “Did you take it anywhere to get it serviced?”
“Just to get my tires inflated.”

Cutting a wire for a cell antenna doesn’t take 20 steps.
Yeah, it’s right in the wheel well 👌

Reporter, is it hostile, or are you hoping to have the comment removed by gaming the reporting system and the mods?
