Does anyone have a guide to modding vehicles to prevent them from collecting data? I would be willing to snip the microphone in the cab and remove the gps receiver if I knew where it was.

It is highly dependent on make/model but most of the time the data is transmitted through the telematic control unit (TCU) which often has a cellular modem that can connect to cellular networks and you might be able to remove or disable/cut power to the TCU.
There can also be other devices similar to a black box in the vehicle which record data and store it in case of a crash for forensic purposes. I would leave these alone as long as they don't have network connectivity.
GSM and GPS jammer is the only reliable way.
Isn't unplugging the antenna lead significantly easier?
