Thanks again!
Looks like no matter what measures we take, big bro will still be able to monitor/track us...oy vey!

How did it save your butt? Just curious.Tire pressure sensors chat over RF to the MCU in newer vehicles. Roll through an antenna "hoovering up" TPS signalling, and a picture of your plate creates a GUID (global universal ID) for your vehicle. Even my Kawasaki C14 has TPSs on it (which has saved my butt!).
TPS addressing is unique to each vehicle. If new ones are installed they require configuration to the vehicle MCU to work.
These devices transmit by FCC Part 15 in the US so their power is very low but still receivable.
Some newer vehicles also transmit radar data (alert to vehicles passing or in blind spot). These also can ultimately be "hoovered up" by actors who want your data.
Keyless entry/start FOBS transmit data under Part 15 rules.
You are literally giving away gobs of data if you drive a newer vehicle with these enhancements.
I am imaging all these data barons sitting in their collared jacket, gently stroking their white Persian cat.

I had an older Miata without TPMS and was driving highway speed during the night. I could feel a slight pull when accelerating uphill then suddenly the tire blew and went flying off to my left. I'd been running on a flat for awhile and didn't realize since they were speed rated tires and ran with less than 30psi due to the vehicle had a decent weight distribution.On the way to Big Bend out of DFW I must have hit a piece of metal with my rear tire. Going down I35E at 65 mph the tire pressure sensor alerted. I immediately got to gas station and added some air but it went off again in a mile. I was two up and had the panniers and top box loaded so if I had not seen the alarm I could have a flat on the rear in heavy traffic and not been able to safely get off the roadway to a place where I could evaluate the tire problem. TPS on bikes is a real plus for safety.
This is the world we live in. Choice is an illusion.
Wrap boxes, pull fuses, unhook antennas, it doesn't matter.
If you actually find the correct way to really disable the communication systems it probably won't run.
My phone pulls up ads for stuff I have thought about shopping for but have never actually said a word about. Seriously.
It's scary to think about how bad it would be if our government wasn't so inefficient and inept.
I don't know about him, but TPMS saved my ass on my Goldwing. I had an aftermarket unit that monitored both pressure and temperature using the OEM sensors.How did it save your butt? Just curious.
Agree re your & @comsec experiences; having lost a rear tire myself.I don't know about him, but TPMS saved my ass on my Goldwing. I had an aftermarket unit that monitored both pressure and temperature using the OEM sensors.
I had it set to display temperature, and just set a trigger for a warning if pressure dropped. I also had an alarm set for high temp.
I was heading to the east coast and saw my rear tire tempreture climbing and shortly after that the high temp warning lit up. if I had kept going, the tire would have failed.
I switched the display to pressure was a bit high due to the tempreture, but nothing alarming.
Pulled off the next exit and let it cool down. The hot summer roads and heavy load (pulling a trailer) were the culprit.
Adjusting the load and slowing down took care of it, but I was well on the way to a catastophic failer if I had not had TPMS
That may work, but it is entirely possible that these systems work independently of your in dash GPS and cell service.Take off the GPS and 5g antenna.
