why?
did you get in an accident, and want to cover your ****?
j/k
i hate big brother as much as anyone.
to my knowledge, not all cars on the road have em, a good cross section do. i have never personally heard of them being used in litigation, only speculated...... i have been in the collision repair industry for 15 years, and i have never seen said "black box"... nor have i had a manufacturer, or annyone else ask for one to be removed.

The RCM, Restraints Control Module, is located on the center tunnel under the instrument panel behind a cover. Communications is through the DLC, data link connector, over the truck's network.
It can create and store DTC's related to the restraint system (seat belts and air bags) for diagnostics, failures, etc. It can also store vehicle crash data.
Frankly I had no idea where it was till you asked; but I just looked this information up in my online subscription service manual at motorcraftservice.com
IIRC there is also reference to it storing crash data in your owners manual. I do know of law enforcement getting the proper authorization and securing information from these devices in fatality crashes in my city.

It appears as if the Super Duty Trucks all have the things. Here's a list of which cars have them and which sort of software is needed to retrieve it.

Here is a picture of the module in question and the corresponding pinout of the main harness connector. This module communicates over ISO Bus (9141) which is accessible with most network passthru devices. I will not go into details of this for reasons that don't even need to be stated, but data can be manipulated and/or destroyed...the memory is not protected in any form or fashion.

Young whipper snappers. I never know what the hell you guys are talking about when you get into this stuff.
You turn it on it's supposed to go. You turn it off, it's supposed to stop. All I know.
Shoot, I don't even use the camera or voice activation on my cell phone
