maybe it's different here in Europe, but why not avoid dealerships all-together? do you just not have third party mechanic shops?

    What do you think the third party mechanic plugs into the car to read data from the computer?

    are they also forced by the company to send them the data?

    No, but you think they're going to use open source software?? The dealer wrote the software. They'll make it call home to the mothership.

    Unless you find a mechanic that will perma airgap their computer. Good luck
