Event Data Recorder

Where is this thing located? Is there a way to disconnect it without disabling the truck?

Usually this is part of the PCM.



Is there some background information that you will share with us why you don't want it? Not only can the information be used against you, but it can be used to defend you. Which side are you concerned with? Just curious.

There is no particular reason. I just do not like Big Brother.

For the trucks equipped with the U-Connect, the ECM also acts as a voice recorder. When analyzed after an accident, the last words recorded are usually "oh, S#$t", ... except for the trucks driven by a red-neck, ... then the last words are usually "hold my beer and watch this". :-laf :-laf

I've come close to bad things after saying that. What is it with those words?
