have you heard about the Romanian car Dacia with the new upgrade from Renault the new 4x4 Dacia Duster Pickup Truck, SUV or the Off-Road?
Geez, now cars need an adblocker?
The wrong adblocker will come with a virus
Yes , we even had to opt out through Honda, for data from the car.
Just put a cover over that antennae. I see a market for a product!
Don’t buy new cars. Problem solved lol
@@goldgeologist5320 I don't think that is good enough. It could still store certain data/flag events.
I'll keep my 2002 Cougar going. It's a 4cylinder gas saver with the Millennial Anti Theft Package (manual transmission).

RUclips also does this. Huge money in data collection.
Yes, Google tracks it all. You can turn a lot of it off.
@@roxcyn Not really.
Practicing browser isolation is the only way to mitigate their collection and monitoring...unless you don't use their products at all.
@@Easy_Skanking - when you go through their privacy area you can turn a lot of the settings off.
Just disconnect the OnStar from the fuse box or behind the rear view mirror there is a wire just unplug it & then its shut off. The most annoying part is once a month they email you a lot of crap saying you need this & that. If you not subscribe to OnStar it can still send info so make sure you unplug it.
that doesnt work for new gm cars
@@cantwealljustgetalong2 I did it on my 2023 Terrain & Equinox
Didn't work on my 2015 Chevy Volt. Unplugging the tracking thing has disabled the whole car for me, won't shift gears or anything. The best I could do was unplug the RF connector for the GPS signal.
@drsysop can you do a video on how to do it? i have a 22 malibu, 13 lacrosse and a 24 equinox lol....i dont know if the lacrosse might be too old to be tracking me anymore, i never had an onstar account linked to that one. but definitely on the malibu and equinox, cause right after i got the malibu my insurance more than doubled

The fact that a car company is giving your information to someone else, is all the reason l need to never again buy from them.
TESLA is confidential.
I’m selling my 2022 Maverick with low mileage, (12,500) and I’m getting offers over the out-the-door price I paid! I paid cash…one of the best investments I ever made. Thank you Ford. Insert Scotty’s donkey laughing.
What you gonna replace it with?
My '21 Elantra was they same thing -- if only I knew I should have gotten two so I could have taken advantage of it - but who knew it would be $8,000 more than I paid for it a year later.

It's opt-in, but the way they trick you is that the dealer DEMANDS that he manhandle your phone, and they'll opt you in without you knowing.
@humbughumbughumbug
Who is dumb enough to do that?
Jeeeez...
They tried to manhandle my phone also, but they didn’t have my password and I didn’t remember it so I couldn’t sign up for the app. They can keep their three free oil changes. I don’t want them knowing my phone contacts, email contacts, who calls me and who I call it’s none of their business.@@humbughumbughumbug

You have to opt out.
VW also tracks your driving. Bought one not too long ago and recently started to use the app more when I noticed the Drive View option. Turns out its been scoring my driving for 6 months and I never noticed. Every time you break hard or take a sharp turn your score goes down. Living in a city where thats just part of the driving gave me a low score so I disabled it.
Their definition of hard braking is anything more than barely tapping the pedals
For many gm cars the onstaar device is removable, as it was for mine. Find a video on how to do it for your year and model. As soon as done the vehicle starts faster after you turn the key. The device is connected to the OBD2, or CAN, bus and records and sends all info. Best of luck to all.
TY
i doubt it. maybe for the older ones like pre 2018.... but the newest ones i doubt it.
nope. A few years ago I had a 2015 Chevy Volt, wanted to remove the module that tracks me - that box which has the RF antenna cables connected to it. I removed it, and guess what? Car won't start, brakes won't work, car just started rolling, can't shift gears, nothing. Seems the tracker thing was also the main module that runs the car ...
When Scotty says "do not buy", you might want to listen and not *buy*, because chances are you might not be able to disable the tracking without disabling the whole car :( .
Better yet just dont be stupid enough to buy the pos gm in the 1st place
@konnorj6442 id rather have gm than ford or stellantis
If it has a computer, it’s tracking you and sending your data to the manufacturers. Been doing it for years.
exactly and its not only gm, my infiniti does the same thing and it tells you its doing it. you can shut it off but it automatically goes back on the next time you start the car. also if you shut it off it says it still sends transmits certain info
I opted out. Got a card verifying the opt out.
@@sl4983 you may have opted out but they’re still collecting your data.

G.M. replied; " Oh he hasn't come in for awhile ( to the Dealership ), So we Disabled his Truck so that he would bring it in !
I said; " Forget Them " ! / After This I'll Never Buy a G.M. Vehicle [ if it has " On-Star " ] / Talk about " Hard - Up " for Money " !
I unplugged the OnStar box under the passenger side back seat in my 07 envoy Denali
Gm isn’t the only company doing this.
thank you, someone who isnt biased. my infiniti does this too and not only that but it cant be shut off. at least with a gm vehicle you can sign onto onstar and opt out. with a nissan/infiniti its a done deal you are stuck
@@cantwealljustgetalong2 you think you can opt out.
@GWAForUTBE you definitely can.
Joke's on GM once I install my new Faraday cage bodykit
Lol
I have used Uber a few times, and I always give the driver a Cash tip! Usually $20. I know they really don’t make much running their own cars. And I appreciate them that do this. As a Semi truck driver I need to go to grocery store once In a while and cannot drive truck to it. Stay safe and Slow down Please!
Bungee an e-bike to your runway behind the sleeper.
Or just have groceries delivered to your tractor, like Walmart, Kroger?, & a few others.
Tip the driver in cash Uber steals the tips, company lacking ethics.
high roller here
You can opt out of data collection, you don't have to remove anything from your car. It's law that if you opt out they can't sell your data. We need to make selling data illegal in all circumstances.
Thanks for the heads up Scotty kilmer.
2010 Insight, check if injectors are clogged as well. I have 2011 and still 42 MPG avg with 195k miles
I opt out by driving a 2003 Ford. 🎉
Thank Jesus the last GM(gm) I bought was a 91 Z28 in 2008. NEVER NEVER NEVER will I EVER buy another government motors, old or new. FThat!
I'd better reconsider the trucks I rent from U-Haul in this case.
@@DTD110865 renting from uhaul for a day or two is much different than a vehicle you go about your daily life in.

Did you kow they tracked down a donkey in the bible and this is 2024 😂 j/k lol 😅 i crack myself up 😪...hmm. lol
They want everyone driving EVs and being tracked. No thanks.
That's every car EV or not.
You already are with all vehicles with GPS. Think twice. Modern Gas vehicles are just as lame as EVs

@@BigboigamerguyThat's nonsense
Thank You Scotty!
Dont Spy on me GM!
It would be easier to just buy a car without on star.
All vehicles made after 2003-2006 ha e built in tracking, gps, braking, accelerometer, time/date etc.
all cars do it not just ones with onstar
@08turboSS exactly, scotty just hates gm so he only mentions what they do even when other companies do all the same stuff
Minimum wage keeps wages low. There's no incentive to work harder or pay better. No competition.
Exactly right
Minimum wage was created to make sure minorities, women and handicap can't take jobs from core working population by taking away their main advantage over them. It was never intended to help the weaker class.
Another aim is to make sure the weaker class depended on the welfare state and continue to vote on more welfare.
If the state really wanted to help the weaker class, they can always just give support to them directly.
That's why I got in the trunk and unhooked the antenna off of it
Keeping my old car. Runs good. Gets good mileage. Lots of room and comfort. A Buick. Totally happy. Love driving it.
Dug into it myself. Come to find out when I purchased my Trailblazer the dealership secretly opted me into the Smart Driver. I had no idea! Well I opted out real fast! Thanks for bringing that to our attention.❤❤
Don't have it & won't.
try finding a car made after mid 2010s that doesnt transmit data without your consent
I have been working in the energy industry for over 20 years. Nuclear energy IS the cleanest and most efficient form of energy that we have been able to mass produce.

I'm currently visiting the Philippines. I was amazed to see many American cars here, especially the Ford Ranger. Toyota definitely rules here when it comes to cars.
Hate to say it but any auto manu that comnects to internet is tracking, logging, reporting.
so love this channel and Scotty!
Three Mile Island in 1979. I don't know if there are any others but that was a scare. Fortunately not Chernobyl‼️
You are the only person that made me aware of this, thanks Scotty!
you need to crawl out of under that rock, this has been all over the news the past few weeks
Anyone who didn't think this wasn't a tracking feature , wasn't thinking.
Do not buy. Do say bye!
Growing up there was always a heated debate about Ford Dodge and Chevy, who was best. Now Chevy is straight trash, it's not even in the debate anymore. Makes me sad and I miss the ole American car debate. 😢
All three now are garbage! Toyota and Honda for the win!
Yes. Those were the days. My first car was a 1966 Chevy Impala 283. In high school some of my friends had a 302 or a 327. I remember the Oldsmobile 442.
They all are becoming trash. Overstressed turbos CVTs plastic parts. It’s all their plan. Planned obsolescence
In Australia, the traditional debate since the 1960s was Ford v Holden. Now, there are no car factories (Ford, Holden, Mitsubishi, Toyota, Nissan all closed), and Holden has ceased to exist as a company.
@@goldgeologist5320 honda and toyota quality is getting worse to
All car companies are grabbing your data and selling it. When you buy a new vehicle you are unknowingly signing a lot of crap and one of these forms is the one that gives them permission. Pay attention.
Right on Scotty thanks for all your knowledge and info on all vehicles,
How about not buying GM altogether. Another unamerician company…
good luck every car company does this, and you cant turn it off like you can with onstar
Scotty I love the car repair videos but also u keep reality for those that have no idea. Nuclear is or eas considered dangerous but if the benefits out weigh the cons why aren't people standing behind it. 😢
Minneapolis deserves the leadership they vote for.

Hi Scotty,
Have been watching your RUclips videos from here on the Far Side of the World on the island of Phuket in SW Thailand.
Have been driving a 2014 Volvo V40 T5 (5 cylinder turbo) Cross Country (44,000km) since buying new 10 yrs ago. Absolutely love this car.
Currently looking for a 2nd vehicle without a single computer chip.
Would love to find an early/mid-1980’s Toyota FJ40.
Your thoughts re the FJ40…???
Keep up the great work over there in the Excited States.
They still make new Toyota FJ40 SWB trucks in Indonesia. I saw all these beautiful new FJ's in a showroom in Bali and there were many on the road. I don't know how they go for International compliance, but they are nice.
How do you know for sure that moving the slider button turns it off?
I don't get why every one wants big trucks. I see the reason for a work truck but why for everyday use..... is it just me?
Guess no one in MN thought that raising the minimum wage will cause some people to get zero dollars per hour.
I love watching lazy people getting what they voted for. 😂
As if people needed another reason to avoid all things GM.
guess what all companies do this data transmission thing not just big bad gm
Great argument bud

@coreytrevor1311 i doubt it. i have a toyota and an infiniti and they both transmit all driving and location etc data to third parties, but the worst part is you cant opt out with them. at least with onstar you can opt out

Good info
My 94 Celica is Tracking all Crooked auto mechanics in my area.
The county I live in set up license plate scanners on all major roads tracking everyone. My phone lights up when I pass them.
The easiest way to opt out is not buying from Generic Motors. But it isn't just them. I avoid it all by not driving anything new. Being a mechanic myself, problems aren't too much of an issue as long as the price is right and the problems aren't too major.
Thoughts on 2023 Kia Sorrento? Have a friend who bought one last year new, few days ago engine light came on now its at the dealership. They think it might be a sensor. Fingers crossed its nothing majoe but its concerning considering its they havent even had the car a year.
Then when they do an update the setting defaults to on again. Don't buy these cars people...
Great video
It's already that way without evs. GM used to be the biggest producer of computers in the world.
Always opt out of being tracked, especially by the insurance company. They will adjust your rate based on your driving if you don't.
Exactly the reason that I cruise around in my mom's old suburban without air conditioning and not complain about it
Hello Mr. Kilmer, I like your channel very much.
If you can answer me two questions about nuclear energy you can built as much as you like
1. What happens in case of a atomic meltdown?
2. where we put the atomic waste?
Thank you
Greetings from Germany 😅
probably also good to know if you're renting one
Hey Scotty I have a 2012 toyota camry le with 141k miles on it when I'm accelerating from at dead stop the car lightly shakes but only does it from a dead stop what do you think it is
USAA offers a similar program where they monitor your driving and cell phone use while driving. Simply opting in gets you a 5% discount on your insurance. If you behave, it can go up to 30% off. It sounds like a decent deal but I wonder if they are artificially inflating the price of coverage to offset the savings from the app.
Ok so what happens when they do an update? Does the setting go back to default or does it still keep your selection?
Also don't connect your phone with Bluetooth
blue link on hyundai does the same thing.
If you want to stay alive don't drive strangers around. There was a case in Portland where some guy was stabed in his own vehicle by the passenger.
Ford was the company that first designed the, On Star, system, but Ford got rid of the, On Star, system because they realized that the, On Star, system could be hacked into, so Ford got rid of the system, and GM bought it. It still can be hacked into though!!!😮
0:09 0:10 hey Scotty Kilmer question what do you think of a 2001 BMW 540i just bought one wasn’t sure how good it is
I've got a 2010 Silverado with that Onstar thing on my rear view mirror that I've never activated. Is that thing tracking me with cell towers anyway? How do I remove it?
You can do everything Scotty said OR,... just don't buy one.

Scotty I am an Uber driver, there are plenty of other app companies willing to take the place of Uber and are able to pay more than Uber. There is one other time Uber left a city. It was Austin, Texas but Uber/Lfyt came back 2 years later. Have you given it thought that Uber/Lfyt maybe they might have a weak business model if they can't handle the bare minimum wage? Uber alone handles 23 million rides a day on average they can afford the bare minimum. You are so quick to defend their shady practices Uber and the other companies might as well be blowing you.

Tracking has been happening for many yrs. I agree w/nuclear but they do need to improve underground storage of waste water.
I'll bet Onstar reports whether it is "turned on" or "turned off"
Most commercial vehical drivers are closely tracked this way. And no, they can not turn them off unless one wants to be fired.
Someone in the UK has recently found out his hyundai with S.O.S software, has that software for geo fencing reasons.
L/100km is such a counterintuitive way to look at gas consumption. Instead they should do like km/l similar to the imperial mpg
when GM pushes an update it defaults back to ON.
It doesn’t matter what privacy settings you use. They will do whatever they want with your data. Trust is gone.
Onstar left me stranded OnMars.
Sounds like the easiest option is to not get onStar.
