<div>If you feel that it is an issue, in the event of a wreck,
you can deny law enforcement access to your OBDII port at the

<div>Why not? An undocumented box that police and

Who even knows if it works correctly and even gives real

Something like this should be mandatory open, not locked

<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>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>

You are going to have to hack
it. I mean read this (i 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>
