More oppression. Already get it in the work truck. Might as well buy a 5 second white good and resign to being a sheep.

RCM has to be removed and sent to Ford IIRC.

There's an episode of NZ's "Serious Crash Unit" that has a FG F6 involved, and the RCM is discussed in fair detail.

So the RCM can record driver information, especially if tired, on phone or changing music on Ipod?

I didn't know BA had these sensors???????
