I'd be curious if anyone documented how to privacy-ify it? Like someone who checked that it disabled all the sensors, like microphones, cameras, seat cushons, GPS, etc.
Honestly, it’s a “budget” vehicle, it doesn’t really have bells and whistles (for example, the infotainment system hardly gets used because it has physical buttons, but it does have the legally mandated backup camera on a different circuit, I haven't seen any cabin cameras), and they are only really highly available because most of the used ones on the market started life as cheap base package rentals, like mine.
I doubt they would bother being nefarious for a vehicle like that, when most people wont bother pulling a fuse even, but I’d also like to see that.
