Question: Does resetting infotainment systems and head units clear the message history, or is everyone permanently unable to remove the info car systems have grabbed?

I hope that this isn't a situation where you have no control, -as that means most people, who don't know that cars do this- wouldn't be able to do a thing even once informed- and are vulnerable to data breaches, now and in the future as cars storing various data expands.

You can often not clear the memory, and often the data is already exfiltrated by the onboard radio uswd for software updates.
