you forgot to mentioned another main important data deletion..And that is the remote wireless garage opener. Especially one when u sell the car one usually forgets to delete the garage door opener. I guess it could be due to its location? You dont want the new seller to drive by your house and open the garage door....eeeks
PS: to delete the remote garage (if equipped) is to hold 1st and last button together for good couple of seconds. (atleast thats how it is on lexus and volvos i havw owned)

The tire pressure sensor also can be tracked by law enforcement since it has a wireless signal and a car specific signature.

It is not destroying evidence if you can prevent it from being recorded in the first place.

My car has a cassette/cd player. I’m not worried 😊

I think that I'll drive my 1959 Ford Fairlane more often.

⁠I mean if my car knew I was about to wreck why tf didn’t it alert me ? Otherwise how else did it know to suddenly start recording 5 sec in advance?? 🤔

I’ve seen a lot of people leave full address contact books in rentals.

great video, thanks, are insurance OBD2 port trackers worth the savings for safe drivers who's data is already compromised due to EquidFax data. breach, and all the other major data breach we hear kn the news?

I bought a used 2016 Honda Civic a few months ago and the previous owner left his home and work destinations along with a few of his other points of interest in his navigation system.

Good choice of crash reconstruction video

03:20 well, OK, they cannot deny you coverage, but it doesn't say that they can't hike the rates to punitive levels.

My car forgets I was ever in it when I detach my phone from the dashboard. Awesome video, regardless.

Hmm. Am I the only one to have thought of this? Lots of cars have self-driving tech _and_ hardwired network connections now. Could there be a more perfect assassination device? This is why I will never get in a car with self-driving if the US government is even slightly annoyed with me.

I don’t pair a phone, I don’t use navigation.

I also set my home location on the GPS not to my actual house. But to a location a block or so from my actual house. So that way, if a thief steals your car, the thief won't know your address and come back for a second helping. And besides, if you're a few miles from your house, chances are, you'll know how to get back home.

But then again, if a thief looks hard enough, they probably could find your insurance ID card.

Take a lesson from dexter delete destinations!

OMG! I have been wondering recently about this.
