Only the warning feature. When disabled, the car still notices when the camera is coverd.

Oh, god, have they? I've only read about Stellantis

No

I was luckily able to disable that one through androids app manager

Yes, it has a 2GB/month sim card as far as i am aware

Thank you for the clarification!

I wish, Renault and/or the salesperson would communicate clearly about the camera. It's way creepier when there is just a camera looking at you without having the context of it being required and which privacy requirements it has per law.

Interestingly, if I disable the function and then cover the camera, a warning still appears. I don't know if that's due to a weird implementation by Renault or a thing implied by the law

Yes, the infotainment system even shows is as being constantly used, which I could disable by going through the android app list (infotainment is based on android) and disabling the built-in AI assistant

Whoops, german writing instincts strike again 🥸

I only tried to cover it for a short time, as my parents are really opposed to the idea of covering it. Maybe I'll design and 3d print a removable cover. I think the laptop camera argument was a little short-sighted; I also pointed that out to them 😅

Oh, I just thought, that it just doesn't do "fast charging". Thank you for the heads-up!
