For my car (2024 GR Corolla) you can pull a fuse that goes to the telematics computer.

The car has a bad habit of calling the emergency hotline on a race track if you go over rumble strips (those painted red/white strips) because it shakes the car so violently I guess. Popping the fuse will make it stop happening.

On my 2021 Camry, the fuse is labeled `DCS` — the only caveat is, it disables the front-right tweeter (there is a bypass, but requires you to remove the front dashboard and install jumpers across the DCS connector).

  • Those are the two randomest things to couple together in a single fuse.

    • worse in subaru's... both front speakers AND the mic. bluetooth phone calls no longer work, and, your music only comes from the back.

      similarly it is /possible/ though a giant PITA to take apart the front of your car and make those work again, per some blog post i saw 4 years ago and can no longer find.
