We shouldn’t be capitualting to any form of spying either way. In the first place, why is a vehicle phoning home? While I disagree, it’s still somewhat thinly understandable if the CarPlay or Android Auto system is doing it but if not, why?
Maybe it’s because I have an old Mitsubishi from almost a decade ago with a fully offline third party car entertainment system that came with it but it runs perfectly fine without any of this nonsense.











Am I the only one in this thread that feels like a vehicle here shouldn’t even have any form of internet connection regardless what nation it is from? The fact that this is from China doesn’t matter. Why does a vehicle even need network equipment (other than a FM radio at most)?
