You can probably pull out the sim card that calls home. Plenty of guides out there too
Chrysler products use a hub to control RF. It's a whole module that cannot be removed as it will throw the rest of the computers in the car network haywire. If u unplug it the vehicle will no longer start (ask how I know) They really don't want u to hide your location!
Wrap the antenna with copper mesh.
That actually might work.... It won't recognize they key fob commands (lock and panic buttons etc), the tpms will no longer read, and you would have to treat the key like it has a dead battery touching it to the push button, but short of those 3 features not working in theory this is a sound solution!
I'd think most of the modern cars use eSim, not a physical card
Maybe could disconnect the entire module, I know that I was looking at a guide for Chevy Onstar and possible Tesla
