I'm thinking about getting a used Jeep, 10-ish years old. I'm concerned about intrusive data harvesting from the vehicle. I'd still like to be able to use my phone's GPS functionality with the infotainment display IF I can do it with a FOSS software stack that respects privacy and a degoogled phone. Suggestions?
Any tips for preventing the vehicle from phoning home more generally is also welcome.
