you forgot to mentioned another main important data deletion..And that is the remote wireless garage opener. Especially one when u sell the car one usually forgets to delete the garage door opener. I guess it could be due to its location? You dont want the new seller to drive by your house and open the garage door....eeeks PS: to delete the remote garage (if equipped) is to hold 1st and last button together for good couple of seconds. (atleast thats how it is on lexus and volvos i havw owned)
great video, thanks, are insurance OBD2 port trackers worth the savings for safe drivers who's data is already compromised due to EquidFax data. breach, and all the other major data breach we hear kn the news?
I bought a used 2016 Honda Civic a few months ago and the previous owner left his home and work destinations along with a few of his other points of interest in his navigation system.
I bought a used Toyota minivan and the previous owner didn't take his sd card from the infotainment screen, it has his families pictures and some japanese songs (cause it's a JDM it came straight from japan).
I don’t know if that would be true. In my state, insurance companies are heavily regulated and don’t get to make their own rates arbitrarily. However, your state or experiences may vary.
@@TheBlueDogMan Yes. by and large they have to get approval to raise most rates.' But we have seen what happens if they dont' get their way - they pick up their ball and leave.
I also set my home location on the GPS not to my actual house. But to a location a block or so from my actual house. So that way, if a thief steals your car, the thief won't know your address and come back for a second helping. And besides, if you're a few miles from your house, chances are, you'll know how to get back home. But then again, if a thief looks hard enough, they probably could find your insurance ID card.
Hmm. Am I the only one to have thought of this? Lots of cars have self-driving tech _and_ hardwired network connections now. Could there be a more perfect assassination device? This is why I will never get in a car with self-driving if the US government is even slightly annoyed with me.
my car is a car , i drive it , I dont require these bs distractions that i believe are in fact illegal anyway . Using your phone whilst driving is illegal? isnt it? so vehicle manufacturers and design rule engineers are technichally selling you an illegal product!
@@ranger178 it has to be able to connect to the internet to report back. You could prevent that. If you have cell service for the car you could cancel it and just use your phone with car play or and roid auto connected by Bluetooth. Also prevent your car from accessing home Wi-Fi if you have connected it.
Anywhere there's a magnet, they can hear you, you'll never get away from the audible stalking,but you CAN eliminate their controlling features from your life by simply living old school (90'back vehicle,land line phones instead of smart phones,Nintendo instead of Playstation). I understand their security side of it but I refuse to trade my security for their insecurities, I'm also a person who's rear brakes locked like a momentary keyboard button push randomly one time in 5 years at a famous intersection known for beaching cars like whales on concrete center divider, I believe newer cars can receive remote commands from lord knows who accessing driving controls, I could spend the rest of my life pursuing proof that driving controls on servo operated vehicles are remotely hackable or I can keep it simple and stick to old cars, I'll keep it simple...also "he died on impact,case closed" good luck on getting a real investigation...ask them for schematics lol
Do you own a smart television? A smart refrigerator? A SMART house? LOL you can't run or hide, they are everywhere. It is called The Beast system prophesied in Revelations in the Bible. Only those in Jesus Christ will escape and live in heaven forever. Get Jesus. Get a Bible. Not a woke Bible either.
LOL! I know, in this Dystopian Nightmare on planet earth, yes they are spying on us while watching you Tube. You Tube spies on everyone. If you have a smart television, same thing, it is spying on you. Your smart refrigerator is spying on you. It is called Revelation Bible prophesy being fulfilled in your life time. Get Jesus, read the Bible.
seriously aside from the garage door opener and having your home address in the nav history anyone seriously that concerned with the data their car is collecting likely needs either to visit a psychiatrist or lead a more lawful life.
The thumbnail is priceless

Cooley is the smartest person on RUclips.
I’ve seen a lot of people leave full address contact books in rentals.
Minority Report becoming real every passing day.
we need more COOLEY!

My car has a cassette/cd player. I’m not worried 😊
More of this please for newer cars
I am soon gonna take their car reviews and stitch in Cooley's Co Pilot to form my own FULL On Cars episodes.
I think that I'll drive my 1959 Ford Fairlane more often.
I drive my grandma’s 2005 Toyota Highlander
My dream car is not a new fancy car, but to maintain my grandma’s car
It is not destroying evidence if you can prevent it from being recorded in the first place.
My car forgets I was ever in it when I detach my phone from the dashboard. Awesome video, regardless.
03:20 well, OK, they cannot deny you coverage, but it doesn't say that they can't hike the rates to punitive levels.
I don’t know if that would be true. In my state, insurance companies are heavily regulated and don’t get to make their own rates arbitrarily. However, your state or experiences may vary.

OMG! I have been wondering recently about this.
I disconnected my OnStar box
I also set my home location on the GPS not to my actual house. But to a location a block or so from my actual house.

They can drive around and press the garage opening button until it actually works, though.

No, you aren't.
great video
BRB about to ghost my car.
Take a lesson from dexter delete destinations!
They can track you with lpr's too.
I don’t pair a phone, I don’t use navigation.
I'll format it
Cool man is that the 2018 tin foil hat

Don't buy current tech car, get 90's car. Problems solved
Cnet car person. What about the SIM card where is that at in the vehicle.
4:30 These days, the tracking device is built into the car by the manufacturer.
This video was funny as fuck
How about driving a slightly older car which doesn't have those capabilities? Makes sense?
how do I stop my car from reporting back to the car company how I drive and such.
Drive a slightly older car which does not report back.

@@seashackf1 it connects on its own i have no internet in car it must have its own built in cell connection to upload data
From my car? Other than the black box, I don't think it has a much information.
Damn, that lady got wasted!
If it's my car, I'll do whatever the hell I want to with it.
"User screw-withable" 😂
Should do a new one for 2024/2025

This guy never heard of GM's Onstar & the other telematic trackers built into all modern cars?
but you don't have to pay for it or activate it. If a new car then it is built into the price
remove 2 old /old information obsolete
I will never buy a car that has all these bells and whistles that I don't want. If it has a computer on board I don't want it.

Your car has many computers on board. Microchipped to death
@@UrbanDIYer My 1962 Morris Minor 1000 was built before the microchip was invented. It has none.

I just bought a 2015 BMW M235i and the previous owner left his family’s phone numbers stored in the Presets
why don't they just disband NSA and CIA? when have they ever done anything useful aside from starting foreign conflict and racist policies
Because NSA and the CIA will not let themselves be disbanded they are in control. They’re not giving up that power.

Just curious as to whether you close you blinds at night.
@@neiljohnson6815 Not all of them.
Why's this guy shouting?
