Vehicles are equipped with computers that control and monitor things such as the engine, brakes, climate control, entertainment, tire pressure, and safety features. With this comes more data, and the temptation to save it and use it for other things. It is important to remember that it is easy to get a used car report showing owner name and address to link data on your old car back to you, here are some key steps to do when parting with an old vehicle:

• Delete Bluetooth pairings
• Delete stored phone numbers and call history
• Remove USB portable drives
• Delete built in garage door opener codes
• Clear the GPS/navigation system of pre-programmed destinations and route history
• Cancel Bluelink subscription
• Delete vehicle Jukebox data
