I found this great, easy guide to secure a Chevy Volt. I haven’t yet tried it, but still wanted to share.

    This is great!

    And thank you for the reminder to dig around until I find that obscure forum post that had the wiring diagram and instructions on how to disable Starlink on Subarus.

    just don’t forget that whatever the car’s computers still record, the maker’s diag software will be able to read it out next time the car is at the mechanic

        Without some serious ECM re-programming from someone that knows what they’re doing (which is very unlikely), probably not. Pretty sure they’re referencing OBDII protocol (or whatever the current standard is) in this context.

        Having said that, it’s probably only an issue when taking to the dealer for anything. Your everyday, local mechanic likely only cares about the diagnostic codes that might be active and point to the issue at hand.
