My utility company already has that power. And they have had no problem proving it to me in the past!

thats illegal! check local and state laws and if its still there and illegal, get'r dun!. otherwise my signifigant other had one on her jeep so when the dealer told her it was illegal, we went in and it was wired into the column. I cut that out and ran it over with my F-350....the module not the jeep.

Big brother is watching...

It's only illegal if it's installed without your knowledge but.....if your credit rating is low, you will not get the loan without signing the disclosure...(below)

Contracts spell out that the device is present on the vehicle.
"We have customers sign a disclosure before they get into the car, saying the
unit is on the car and how it is going to function." The disclosure form is four
or five pages long, and the customer checks off every box.
The maker of the devices stated "If the dealer won't disclose
the unit is on the car, then we won't do business with that dealer or his lender
or finance company." yah! right!
