went to dealer couple of days ago and they have no idea what i'm talking about..
signal is there but you are not authorized at their servers to establish the connection. The car has an e-sim builtin it and each tcu has unique one and unique serial.thank you! is there a manual to remove these two by ourselves? kill car antenna will not be able to get the radio? i heard to install attenuator but not sure if it works.the configure the modem in the car to not send data but at the server side. At least that the official details. The cell service/signal is still there as it can be reactivated. Its like when you dont pay your mobile phone
And yes they can still track cell towers just the car doesnt send the data anymore. Only real way to fully kill the system is remove the esim or kill the car antenna. there are two.
no signal bar means it won't talk to the tower anymore?dont botherz removing the esim or antenna is not easy task
if Mazda deactivated it it shows no signal bar on the infotainment or it was X (dont recall which). Thats as much as you can do.
believe still be tracked on the way to different places. really need to kill the esim.. please advise..
Theoretically, it means the TCU isn’t sending to the mother ship anymore. In my CX-5, I got a symbol for a failed firmware update on my infotainment screen a few weeks after I had my TCU turned off. I guess that means there is no communication when my system calls for a firmware check.
Good to know, because on my 2025 CX-5 when you disable "Connected Services" in the car's vehicle settings it shows an annoying message every time the car is started and you have to click "Cancel" or "Enable" to get the message to go away.
