    You might be able to just pull out the SIM card from your glove box. It needs a cellular connection to share data, but without a SIM card it can’t get data.

    Not sure if it has any ill effects (ie: disabling emergency response stuff) but might be worth it depending on how privacy conscious you are.

      Do they still use physical SIM cards?

      I would expect them to use eSIM instead, no need to psy a worker or design a machine to shove a SIM card in every head unit, and pay for the production of the cards when you can just transfer an eSIM during programming.
