Could someone create a dumby device that looks like a phone to the car but has none of your data. Connect phone to dummy phone, connect dummy phone to car. Phone gives no info besides music or gps to dummy phone. Dummy phone gives "everything" to car but turns out it has nothing.

Use an old phone, wipe almost everything off it.
