Data Recorders in automobiles - RF Cafe Forums

RF Cafe Forums closed its virtual doors in late 2012 mainly due to other social media platforms dominating public commenting venues. RF Cafe Forums began sometime around August of 2003 and was quite well-attended for many years. By 2012, Facebook and Twitter were overwhelmingly dominating online personal interaction, and RF Cafe Forums activity dropped off precipitously. Regardless, there are still lots of great posts in the archive that ware worth looking at. Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts. Here is the full original RF Cafe Forums on Archive.org

Where would we look in our vehicles to find these data recorders ?
If they are "GPS enabled" then finding the antenna should be very easy.

I have the Ford service CD-rom for my truck, I don't recall seeing anything about a recorder, or connections for a recorder, in there.

Greetings:

Here is a good source from Senior magazine that you might find interesting. It lists car models beginning in 1996. Not all EDR modules have GPS capability, but one of the most notable is the OnStar system. A Google Search will provide all the answers you need.
