You forget, I'm NOT one of the folks here that wants his EDR disabled.

In case it was missed in my other post there is CURRENTLY a bill trying to be passed regarding this specific issue. It is being put forth by Bono and Capuano
http://www.motorists.com/issues/edrs/bill/HR5609.pdf
In part it says
After 2008 (2009 model year and beyond), any new vehicle sold in the United States must allow vehicle owners to easily disable the EDR if the vehicle contains such a device.

Up in post # 17?
It would seem that provided that the owner of the vehicle was still alive after the crash and coherent enought to say yea or nay this would not be an issue.

from http://www.cbc.ca/news/background/blackbox/ ~2003.
California is the only jurisdiction in North American with any rules on the use of black box information. In that state, the information can only be used with a car owner's consent or with a court order.
A court case in Quebec may influence how black box evidence is treated in Canada.
In April 2001, Eric Gauthier was driving his new Pontiac Sunfire in east end Montreal. His car collided with another and the driver of the other car, Yacine Zinet, died at the scene.
Gauthier told police that Zinet's car was speeding and ran a red light. No one else saw the accident.
However, the black box in Gauthier's car said it was Gauthier who was speeding, travelling at between 130 and 160 km/h when the speed limit was 50.
Gauthier was convicted of dangerous driving, but was cleared of the more serious charge of criminal negligence causing death.

I asked a simple question and the rude first response asked "Why would it bother me?". My thesis was quite clear: It is there without my permission. Does this same individual ask the person in Starbucks why he or she likes his coffee different than he does? There is definately a lack of professionalism but not initiated with me!
Next I received an "I showed you mine, you show me yours". Unless I missed the entire point of this forum, it is not grade school, it is to help fellow Ford truck users.

EDR did seem like a good topic, quite current as it has been mentioned on the news recently (sorry, I can't give you date, time and broadcast) but not addressed here that I could find however, since this is causing you problems, I request you should simply delete this entire thread as some of the more sensitive followers have taken a "big brother" issue and made it simply a personal one. ( I would have deleted it myself however that function is not available.)
Thank you
