    Finally got to finish reading this thread -

    Has anyone tried sending 120V AC to the antenna wires?

    Bet that DCM would take a shit then

    Government could shut you down with a keystroke and know exactly where you are. They may drive you to jail in your truck from their computer.

    You've mistaken 4Runner with Tesla : )

    I don't think so. It's coming everywhere soon

    So far I understood from this thread that if you remove DCM fuse 4Runner doesn't send or receive any data, meaning all remote controls won't work and location won't be sent. And it certainly cannot be driven remotely, without removing DCM fuse bad guys can only start/shutdown engine or lock/unlock doors.

    Coming from a 2001 Cherokee and a 2001 Buick this is all new to me! Now here I am with a 22 Taco and a 23 4runner. I don't like it and don't use any of this crap.

    So after catching up it seems removing the antenna connection is the trick. And then to defeat the remaining weak signal I am going to place a small piece of faraday cloth over the nub.

    I have a bunch of it I was testing stuff with. I don't like going super fast on my motorcycles with my phone knowing it so I wrapped it and it works! Phone will not ring/send/receive. Tinfoil and microwave ovens don't work! LOL. My phone rings in both!

    But faraday cloth works amazingly well!

    I stash the keys in a homemade faraday box at night.

    IF IF IF these vehicles ever get stolen you will not be able to replace them as these generations are obviously gone soon.

    If we could shut off ad tracking on computers along with this, It would be even better.

    Amazing of how spoken conversation can generate into ad emails or ads on websites..
