You may want to check with your insurance company on that.

I don't pretend to know the intricacies of the legal world but 'tampering' with safety systems would likely be frowned upon/denial of claims etc.

Is the modem a 'safety system'? Would a lawyer find a way to define it that way when told to by said insurance companies?

The counter point is, again by general scuttlebutt not fact, there isn't a 'modem' listed on any part list for vehicles. Is it 'missing' if it was never sold to you? 😜
