Modern cars are computers on wheels that send home nonstop telemetry about you. In this post I remove my 2024 RAV4 Hybrid's modem and GPS to prevent that :)
The 2004 4Runner never had any sort of modem, and only the Limited models had GPS - but that’s purely a receiver for navigation and doesn’t actually transmit anything.
This level of connectivity is a relatively recent thing.
I wonder if there is an equally in-depth info for the
20042024 4Runner. Have someone else who’s totally nontechnical who wants this done.The 2004 4Runner never had any sort of modem, and only the Limited models had GPS - but that’s purely a receiver for navigation and doesn’t actually transmit anything.

Sorry, slip of the finger while distracted. I meant the 2024 4Runner.
Edit: jeez, my fingers are potatoes today.
I’d imagine the system in a '24 4Runner is very similar to that of the '24 RAV4.
If we start at the shift selector as per the article, it is radically different. It’s a solid stick, it has no boot.
