        Searching for your car model + ‘disable modem’, ‘remove cellular’, ‘physically remove 5g’, etc. Will often come up with guides for specific vehicles.

        In my car, it’s just a separate board you can just unplug.

      my rates do seem high. I had a wreck a few years back but it was a dented door and fixed just fine. I work from home so I dont drive all that much, and the car is cheap. But it does have telemetry. I wonder if I should just bridge a resistor across the onstar antenna terminals

        Casually reading, you could put a 50ohm or larger resistor there.

        You will have a better result removing/disabling the module completely. There are several searchable tutorials based on the vehicle module.

      My '24 Civic has no connectivity but bluetooth. I don’t know about the 25s.
