Does anyone know about the legality of removing the built-in sim cards from your car, specifically in Australia?
I don’t intend on using any car smart-features when I get one. For context, I’ve never owned a car. When I do get one though, I intend to remove the sim card to prevent the car’s location from being constantly tracked. All I care about in terms a cars functionality is a radio, a CD drive (Yes, I use CD’s), and Bluetooth audio, so I don’t think removing the sim card should affect this much, if at all. Any knowledge and advice would be appreciated, thankyou!
Update: What I was referring to is an eSim, which appears not to be in the form of a physical card. Even so, if possible, I would like to disable the functionality of this eSim assuming the car I purchase has one in-built. From my research, I cannot find anything that explicitly forbids disabling or removing Sims.
I guess the manufacturer would void any warranty you have on the car, so there’that to be considered
I’m happy to take that to court. There are legal controls on what invalidates a warranty, including reasons that can’t be signed away in a contract.
Doing god’s work my mate!
Yes this is the real issue…
Better just buy used if you are going this route then.
I can’t find any place where they said they would be buying new.
I’m too poor for that 😂
Cars are insanely expensive! Buying new is really a waste anyhow in my experience. I thought that the warranty could make it worth it, but it turns out that car companies are pretty slimy about warranty claims.
