If I have to buy a "new" car someday, I'm cutting off every antenna I see.

    Unfortunately just like your cell phone we don't really need external antennas anymore. In a lot of cases there's not even a wire inside you can easily cut, just traces deep on the board

    What I've been reading about on that subject is that cars often have a Telematics Control Unit or TCU that can actually be disabled if you can find it. 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.
