or leaving it off entirely ...

So, as someone previously suggested, I enlarged the gap in the fuse panel with a Dremel 7700 and it worked out fine ... problem solved ...

I won't have one of those Nannies in my car!

I agree 100%. Insurance co's are incredibly clever in coming up with ways to zap people.

A few years ago, I leased a new car. And, at Ins. renewal time, the insurance co. told me that the lease constituted an installment loan and that my credit was dinged because: 1) it was a "new" loan, and 2), a large balance was outstanding. The idea being, of course that any perceived bad credit would justify a rate increase.

These was all pure bunk, but it illustrates how ins. co.'s can operate to make a quick buck. And when I complained to the state ins. commission, they told me it was tough luck, and If I didn't like it, get a different co.

Back to the topic: Any sort of data mining/gathering by insurance co.'s sounds like the old saying -- "The government is going to help you".

I didn't install anything from an insurance company ... but what's the difference? all the data is already being captured anyway; why would you deny yourself access to it?....

Because you don't need it.
