Big brother is watching your driving habits and reporting to 3rd parties

If you get OTA updates, you are being tracked and data of everything you do, with the car, is being uploaded.

Easiest way to find out is to pull the radio. If you have a purple connector plugged in, you are being watched. If you have a pink connector plugged in, you are being watched.

Newer vehicles have an additional antenna (we think its embedded in the Aircard), which hasn't yet been defeated. My solution would be remove the aircard, or wrap it in faraday material. Still researching this. Need a newer head unit to tear down.

Trust me... EVERY one of your cars has an aircard, whether you opt for Guardian, or wifi, or not. Havea 911 button? That doesn't go through your phone. It uses the aircard.

Telematics, in the old days (2005+) just meant your car had hands free bluetooth phone use. I used to make the overlay harness, for the early Telematics module, so you could have bluetooth phone in your car, as not all Gen1 cars had it. Started by making one for my Magnum, then everyone had to have one. LOL

My cellcomm blocker works on that radio node. 2015 to 2018. That's all you need. 2019 up have the purple and pink connectors, plus an onboard antenna that has yet to be accounted for. Earlier in this thread, we explore the aircard and what its doing. I uploaded some aircard data, for those who want to review what Sierra says about their hardware.

This is a super busy time of year, for me. Not much downtime. When I have some time, I'll find a junk newer radio and start doing some testing.

The Guardian & TBM are different things and have nothing to do with your car being a 'fleet vehicle' nor were they disabled by the dealer when you bought it.
You need to read the document in that link I posted and call BOTH numbers to get them turned off.

@DGatzby I would be surprised if your DDSRT was built without the TBM, could be your build sheet is wrong (as mine was). Stealantic's documents have been proven to be less that accurate lately.

I get nothing from them, I don’t subscribe to shit. If I see anything, I will consult Bob and have at it. They got to be fairly pleased with tracking it at over 100 mph about every day I drove it in Denver on that Toll Road I thought was the Autobahn. Phuck ‘em! I broke it in well.

Mine appeared to be activated by the selling dealer, apparently they are encouraged (given some financial incentive) to activate this crap without mentioning it or asking the buyers permission

One of the tell-tail ways to determine if yours is active it to add your vehicle to the Dodge Garage website or app. If the mileage that shows up there is close to your current mileage (and you've not been to the dealer for service) then one or both are active & tracking you !

That would work here. Because this vehicle has not been to a dealer for 13 months and about 11,500 miles. I got it all spiffed up today. Best it has been detailed in 13 months. Dodge Garage website? I’ll look and see what I need to give up to enter. Thanks Mike.

Negative tracking. Actually found my account. 1193 miles, Guardian is INACTIVE.
