You could just find and disable the wireless modems.

Cool just like trying to replace a blower motor in a modern car feel free to rip the entire dash out only to find out it has a second antenna all the way in the back underneath the spare tire also behind a tail light which somehow requires you to remove the muffler to get to....

Or just pull this fuse for the module?

If you can.... Without breaking something vital thats on the same circuit as something so non-vital as turn signals or headlights. You know from the companies so smart as to not wire all... I mean all the positive hots through the ignition or light switch...... Nothing like an ignition that's 200°f.

You'd probably have more luck installing a signal jammer in your car.

The best you can hope for is a rootkit and some Linux-based OS for cars to be developed so you can take full control.

FWIW there is a cottage industry for OnStar disable/delete mods for GM vehicles. It can be done, usually without breaking too much else of the car's electronic functionality.

I'd rather poke the GSM modem with a screwdriver.

if you can find it, and all it's backups..

Also, jammers are illegal pretty much everywhere.
