Wouldn’t it be extremely more efficient to just purchase an older car without all the telemetry if there was this fear of privacy?

I found the below online for the RDX:

Does anyone know if one of these fuses would power the GPS/Navigation screen?

I found this list but nothing seems to be related to it. And is it safe to turn off individual ones?

pull a fuse, see if navi works, if yes, no fuse does not power, if navi doesn’t work you found the fuse

The telematics in the 15 TLX uses 3G technology which was disabled a few years ago so it's no longer communicating. I tested it by pressing the AcuraLink button and it doesn't connect.

If true that’s big. Thank you. But couldn’t the fact it’s not communicating be for any number of other reasons? Like problems with the car, maybe your subscription expired etc
