Default Re: Chinese cars hoovering personal data

You'd probably have to go back to models that don't have infotainment, which will be different for each make.

Smart phone operating systems are getting better with this sort of stuff. Google and Apple are starting to prevent external devices from getting more access to your phone than what is needed for it to function. But still more can be done.

Though if you are concerned about this sort of stuff, then check your internet router at home where all data goes through. Its probably a Huawei device? Even if it isn't, the "made in elsewhere" router probably has circuit boards manufactured in China. And that goes for pretty much any electronic device that you interact with, smart TVs, phones, home CCTV that is connected to the internet etc.
