Does Sirius have their own modem (eg in the head, or elsewhere) or do they use Ford’s telematics module? I’ve disabled the telematics module, trying to figure out if that’s enough or if I need to disable something else, either physically or via Forscan, to kill all location tracking.

Is it sirius satellite radio? So it just receives a satellite signal. I don't think it needs a modem.

If your concerned about tracking, Ford does that already (as know via the Ford App) And you better toss that smartphone out the window.

Best option is to clip the antenna wire on the puck,or put a faraday pouch around it. top rear of the roll cage so it cannot connect. Sirius is capable of locating some cars depending what plan they have.

That’s why I disabled the telematics modem. Mobile phone is a different story.

Yeah I read that Uconnect systems (Jeep/Chrysler) have this capability, but they depend on the telematics module as well for this.
