Default How to turn off WiFi in 2021 Honda Accord

I just bought a 2021 Honda Accord Hybrid EX and I can't find a way to turn off the WiFi on it. In Bluetooth settings there's a way to turn it off but can't find anything for WiFi. I have no use for the WiFi and would rather not have it on. I'm willing to pull fuses too if I knew which one. Any help appreciated.

I'm not sure how you can turn it off. One fuse will power other components other than the wifi, so pulling a fuse is likely not an option.

Your best bet is to ask the dealership if their scanner can turn off wifi. Your best bet on a new car is to search the web for some kind of hidden menu to disable wifi that you could access.

The service manual does not include information or procedures regarding disabling Wi-Fi. Honda is moving toward where servicing vehicles requires the ability to receive Over the Air (OTA) software updates. They are integrating Wi-Fi network as part of a dealership's infrastructure (e.g., service reception, service bays, vehicle delivery areas, etc.).
