To fix the battery drain problem, you can add a jumper wire inside the main fuse box that makes it so the DCM is powered only when the car is running, not all the time. Details here:

There's a recall for that. They will replace your telematics module for free with a "bypass box", which preserves the function of the front speakers, which stop working when you pull that fuse. Sorry I don't know if this also ends the telematics phone home problem. This is specifically to address the battery drain problem. It fixed my similar battery issues.

Anybody know if it turns off the data uploads, or not?

It fits if you are freezing it in a can. If freezing in a baggie or something, maybe not.

Southwest airlines. I flew on them once, now it's impossible to unsubscribe from their marketing emails.

140 years after the automobile, most drivers can't or won't design and produce new automobile products.

Isn't that a closer analogy?

She's a treasure. Reading "Spook" now.

At this point, it's the best I can do. I have tape on the selfie camera too. I guess I could bust this pixel 7a open and add physical switches to the cameras and mike, but I'm not real confident in my ability to pull that off. Maybe you can tell me how to do that.
