Default can I disable all wifi?

I am interested in getting a Mazda BUT I want to be able to disable ALL wifi / bluetooth etc. I mean 100% not present; like, can I pull fuses?
Ex: I don't want anything operating for any reason that is not hard-wired to function.
Otherwise I'm going to have to keep driving vehicles that are old enough to not have radiation devices installed in them.
This is a health problem.

Wear an all-aluminum clothing...

Unfortunately, you do realize that technically speaking driving in traffic you are still receiving and possibly the unknown effects of wifi transmission. Also when you shop i most store as well. And you might as well forget about ever going to a hospital ,flying on a plane, train ship...etc., etc., ect.

Best advise join an old flat earth believing group of people called Old Order Amish Mennonite Church.

Unfortunately this is the type of response I expected, one that disses the questioner without trying to answer the question. The state of online "communication" in today's incredibly rude world.

YOU CAN NOT FUNDAMENTALLY DO IT ON THE MAZDA YOUR A DRIVING FROM 2000 TO PRESENT WITH WIFI AND ANY SKYACTIV PRODUCTION MODEL. THIS GOES WITHOUT SAYING THAT FROM A-Z OTHER PLATFORMS IT WILL BE THE SAME THING.

As for how I responded IMHO is a rather and I am sure you will also take this wrong but reads lacking in awareness in general of how things are in the Modern World we currently all live in and share least of all how most all vehicles are manufactured.

Just thinking off the cuff about how to do it....
The main unit ECU would be last on a long list of systems that would need to be completely recorded and programed . Good luck with that unless you are going with a stand alone ECU and then trying to program it or find someone that has experience to do that with many platforms on the market and specifically most all model Mazda's from 2000 to present.
Then there would be the complete removal of the sound system and also other wifi supporting dash and other none ECU related systems that while wifi is not active is part of the system that could use them. How would you set up a warning when the wifi was active?

My advise NEVER EVER but a electric vehcle from 2019 and newer.

So I guess 190's and older vehicles are looking pretty good for you.

I would like to say Welcome to the forum, but I will reserve that at the moment. I would say you are not an Earther but then my user name is
Callisto. rolmao!



seeya on the other side or I should say when yu join other Mazda forums and ask this same question. lols

I did not know the more recent Mazdas had WiFi. I have a 2020 6 and haven’t seen any unknown WiFi network show up when I’m in or near the car. Also, no mention of it in the owner’s manual.
I have the opposite question: how do I activate it?

So no if you don’t have it naturally u can’t turn it on.
