Removing the Modem and GPS from my 2024 RAV4 Hybrid

Modern cars are computers on wheels that send home nonstop telemetry about you. In this post I remove my 2024 RAV4 Hybrid's modem and GPS to prevent that :)

Dumb question if the modem is removed, why need to remove the GPS?

The article says that while not needed, it helped with some bugs when using a phone as the navigation device.
