Cars have been sending data back to manufacturers (which include location, odometer, etc) for a while now and there's almost no way to disable it nicely (destroying the radios voids warranty): http://www.bbc.com/autos/story/20160809-your-car-is-not-your...

If I remember correctly, something like this likely won't void the warranty, except maybe the warranty for electronics in the car. There are pretty strong laws in the US regarding car warranties.

Ok, so it is void. Easy peasy.

I realize, not so easy. But there will be people who do make it easy.

Until then, I pretty much am not in the market for new cars.
