Yeah, and digging that out could be a huge pain, as it's usually buried beneath the dashboard, so it would probably take an hour or two to get to, even if it is user-removable.

I'm not going to buy any vehicle that I cannot block from accessing the internet, so my search for a car is a bit complicated. Instead of just looking at price and specs, now I also have to look for what kind of spyware it has and if it can be easily disabled.
