You’d probably have more luck installing a signal jammer in your car.

The best you can hope for is a rootkit and some Linux-based OS for cars to be developed so you can take full control.

Also, jammers are illegal pretty much everywhere.

FWIW there is a cottage industry for OnStar disable/delete mods for GM vehicles. It can be done, usually without breaking too much else of the car’s electronic functionality.

I’d rather poke the GSM modem with a screwdriver.
