It's a box that plugs in to the wiring harness. They also have antennas that could be connected by a wire that you could locate, giving us another option to disable them by just disconnecting the antenna wire. That way the TCU could still talk to the main computers but not be able to send out its data. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] linearchaos@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago If it doesn't have a wire you could always put in a little faraday cage. permalink fedilink source parent
