Yeah that might apply to all the newer connected vehicles, but mine is still just mine without any kind of wireless systems in it. Only way insurance could track my habits is with waze or google drive on my phone

There are dealerships that install aftermarket devices in their cars.

There are tutorials on YouTube: How to start your car if it has been remotely turned off by the dealership.

It ranges between disconnecting the battery and starting the car before the device from the dealership has connected to how to find it under your dash.
