<p dir="ltr">I have been around cars for a long time and the only thing I could imagine it would be used for is to come up with some sort of memory of how you drive to help out with how your vehicle will preform. Disconnecting it without the computer being bypassed could cause really bad issues for your car. I would research it and go from there. However my opinion is to leave it alone.</p>

Presuming it does not emit a signal and is simply a data

<div>I would think about, from what I have read so far,
instead of disabling it (says integrated into
electronics) figuring out a way to auto wipe it.<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>It looks like it records around the crash, and has
limited capacity.<br>

Chevy has a GMLAN interface that lets you do all sorts
of stuff, i never got into it but you can intercept and
send commands. if the box is linked to it, that would
be a start.<br>

Someone just interfaced with a car at defcon or some
conference I thought.<br>

know it is crappy fox news) <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/leisure/2010/03/04/toyota-secretive-black-box-data/" target="_blank">http://www.foxnews.com/leisure/2010/03/04/toyota-secretive-black-box-data/</a><br>

Just discovered my Toyota truck has a "black box,"
a data recorder in it. How can I disable that
<censored> and still have the truck work?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
