- YouTube My 2012 Prius v level 2, the lowest optioned base model, has no GPS or ota internet connection.
The irony of course is we're all willingly walking around with a super computer in our pocket that's illicitly collecting way more data about our day to day activities than anything a brief car ride can do and the settings we can use to tell it not to don't work very well. But make sure your car isn't internet connected, lol...
Know of more than one emergency case .. Not me .. Where folks were lucky to be connected. As stated, unless you are a Luddite, you are already bought and sold.
Just requested AMAZON reveal all data collected on myself -- just for the hoot of it -- they told me they will have it in a month.
The old 2012 GSM modules were designed for 3G networks, which have since been shut down. That's what I often tell people that put tape over their computer and tablet cameras.
Are they all down now? As I posted a couple months ago, while all the major providers had shut down their 3G years ago, but not all the minors had done so. One I'm familiar with just gave notice last September that it was finally going to be sunsetting its own 3G soon, phased by geography.
But not over their cell phone cameras that has GPS tracking and can be remotely toggled-on just as easy as a computer or tablet. Also tethered 24x7 to the web. Please explain?????????
No more than like having a land line phone in your house on your bedroom night stand. Granted, I use my iPhone only as a phone and sometimes for GPS, but I not being monitored by my car manufacturer.
