>> Which is why my employer strips out telematics systems from all company cars.
Ours had them fitted to the pool vehicles, plugged into the OBD2 socket (or ECU socket if you prefer). First thing I used to do was to accidentally "knock" it with my leg, and then plug it back in again when I finished with the pool vehicle.
A colleague had to be somewhere in a hurry one day, and I suggested he accidentally "knock" it with his leg if he was worried about it reporting home speeding, harsh braking, accelerating, etc. He replied saying that it would be a waste of time as the telematics box had a battery back up. It also reported back to the company if it had been unplugged from the vehicle.
Odd that in that time I was using the pool vehicles, I never had any comments made about my driving or "accidental" unplugging.
