This has been one of the major reasons I have no desire to buy a new car. I do not want a $30k IoT device that spies on me. Unfortunately, that is pretty much the norm now.
If/when I am forced to buy another, I’ll be looking hard into which ones are the easiest to rip the modem out of. Can’t be an IoT spying device without the internet.

Fuck that insurance company. When mine shipped a couple of OBD-II connection boxes for us to install for our auto insurance, I sent them back. They told me I wouldn’t get their special discount if I didn’t install the trackers in our 2 vehicles. I said I’m not installing your tracker boxes regardless. I continue to have car insurance, and those alleged discounts didn’t really amount to much.
