There's a recall for that. They will replace your telematics module for free with a "bypass box", which preserves the function of the front speakers, which stop working when you pull that fuse. Sorry I don't know if this also ends the telematics phone home problem. This is specifically to address the battery drain problem. It fixed my similar battery issues.
Anybody know if it turns off the data uploads, or not?
On my 2019 Outback, I can kill this function by pulling the telematics fuse. But this also kills the front speakers. I need to look into disconnecting the antenna, but I'm a little unsure about removing the headliner to access the bottom of the antenna. Is there another way?
Are these archived anywhere?
It fits if you are freezing it in a can. If freezing in a baggie or something, maybe not.
I hope they let me work, I need the money.
Every one of you is a fucking asshole. Try to be more like Riker.
140 years after the automobile, most drivers can't or won't design and produce new automobile products.
Isn't that a closer analogy?
She's a treasure. Reading "Spook" now.

To fix the battery drain problem, you can add a jumper wire inside the main fuse box that makes it so the DCM is powered only when the car is running, not all the time. Details here:
