I'm not sure if you can turn it off, but you can use the PCM to disconnect or remove the phone from its memory.

Correct disconnect is not the same as off.

We recently had our home and cars measured for EMF pollution and found the bluetooth in the car is 4x higher than our other cars.

Short of pulling a fuse ... Is there a way?

It's all those buggering EMF signals that a guy with a meter can read, then bill you for the "service." Then bill you to wrap your house in a Faraday Cage to keep you safe.

Like all those “chemtrails” that aircraft make that are poisoning the people by the government? Yeah, got a neighbor like that....

The only difference being, chemtrails are real. There are even photos on the interwebs, and you are not permitted to post this stuff if not true. Show me a pic of an EMF pollution pile.

You could have her try this.... the chin strap is important since you have a cab.

Either that, or just tell her you turned it off - she'll never know the difference

It can be shut off within the PCM.

There is an option to turnoff Bluetooth.

Good Luck.

Do you watch Better Call Saul?

Try turning it off from the PCM as WBimmer suggests... but don't tell your wife. See if the headache and skin flush continues.

Vaccines are safe and everything is a chemical. The dosage determines the risk.

EMF is very overblown. If you're really worried, the items that "might" cause an issue from over-exposure would be anything close to the head - Bluetooth earphones, for example.

Also, Bluetooth is non-ionizing and non-thermal radiation anyway.
