Disabling DCM and telemetry in a 2023 Toyota Corolla LE

I show how to disable the Digital Communication Module (DCM) and the microphone in a 2023 Toyota Corolla LE. The DCM automatically sends location and sensor information to Toyota over the cellular network, which Toyota then sells to insurance companies, among others. If you're still not convinced to disable the DCM, check out these articles:

In some models of the Corolla, the DCM can be disabled by pulling an easily accessible fuse. In the 2023 LE, however, the fuse is not easily accessible and I show how to remove the power from the DCM directly.
