One way to tell: disable the cellular modem in your car and see if it still operates.
This assumes there’s a user accessible option to disable it.
I assumed it's not a option, so I took the suggestion to mean "physically disable" the device. Modern cars have a number of integrated computers and they rarely serve individual purposes, but there's a good chance there's an external antenna near/in a window. Granted, I don't have any vehicles with cell service, so I could be wrong. I do own a drill though
Just wrap your car in tinfoil. Bonus is that it stops the government from reading you mind while inside.
Shill for big foil..thanks for the advice MR REYNOLDS.
Probably can't do this unless you've already bought it.
That’s the question, isn’t it?
Can you actually buy a (new) car in 2025?
