Tele-Aid Delete

Is there a procedure to properly delete Tele-Aid from the cars?

I know there is a fiber optic jumper available; what about programming to remove the Tele-Aid Unit? What all is there to remove?
To me it's an unnecessary piece of electronics that can just cause problems. It's also an avenue for attack for the CIA or other nefarious agency to track or even hack and take control of the car.

I think with STAR you can "Deactivate" Tele-Aid. If you that paranoid, you need to lose these items: electronic equipment (phone, smart watches, computer), disconnect from internet completely...

Why even bother? Running drug business, selling people? CIA doesn't care about you or even this forum...

True, it's the Fascist Bureau of Intimidation (FBI) that's monitoring you not the CIA. The are a lot of troublemakers who think WTC#7 looks a lot like a classic controlled demolition and they need to keep an eye on those kind of people.
