Yeah, Subaru can have the Starlink disabled pretty easily by removing, essentially, a module behind the head unit. The only problem is that module also sends power to the front speakers. There’s been workarounds created, but it’s just asshole design at its finest.
True, much easier to remove the antennas and SIM cards.
Until you find out the cars won’t start without them :(
We’re in a scary new world… I’m glad I’m old with no kids and not in great health.
