Not really, they've all had telemetry for probably 20 years.
The cars with satellite radio are even worse (which isn't saying much, since they put modems in cars about 20 years ago)
My 2016 doesnt have a modem. It has a Sirus radio...but sirus operates one way and has no way to communicate back.
My Japanese export 2016 doesn't either. Aside from the fact that we flashed the head unit with custom software, there's nothing for it to connect to in my country anyway.
Any hints on where one might find details on this?
