      Possibly… But it’s likely that the internet modem is integrated together with the car’s radio head unit, or at least pulls power through the same fuse. Since it’s fairly unlikely that they have a single fuse that only powers the cell connection, the fuse-pulling approach is likely to disable other things as well, possibly some pretty important things.

      Going after the antenna wire ensures that you only disable the internet connection, nothing else.

        I’m doing both. I want these systems totally offline. If I could, I’d tear them the f out of the car entirely. This shit is evil.
