    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.

      If it’s like “OnStar” where you could call for help, or they’d call you in an accident. I suspect that’s why it was done :(
