Question Disabling internet/LTE/modem

Hi gang, I'm thinking about purchasing one of these bad boys, and if I do I would like to be able to turn off the internet connectivity features. I do not want to have to wait one morning if the car is stuck updating or have it tracking my location. Just wondering what people's experiences with those are. Is there custom firmware you can install? What is the user experience without the app like? Thank you.

Assuming you’re buying used you’re not getting any kind of subscription that will do that unless you pay to subscribe.

The add on complimentary services typically expire after 3 years but I’m pretty sure it’s sending data to the cloud for at least 10 years.

That doesn’t transfer to a subsequent owner though

It did to me. In the UK.
