Don't drive like a jackass and you will never be bothered by it. OTOH, it may be to your advantage if the other guy is the jackass, now you have some proof.

 

I hear you but the odds are slim to none that N Line owners haven't dipped into triple digits probably more than once. Theoretically they could use that to raise your insurance rates. And you don't need to be a jackass, nor a poor or unsafe driver to do that. I guess I was really just making the point that we have no privacy.

 

It's a valid complaint. Even if you aren't driving bad, what's to say they won't constantly pull your driving habit data?

 

Yes, they may look at your wild driving and masturbate while reviewing it.

What, without your permission, will they do with it? I guess it depends on your paranoria level if it matters.

 

Interested in skipping telematics in whatever's next if I can. Too bad it isn't clearly on the spec sheet - I have a cell phone which is enough for my data collection.

We just got burned with normal car security with Kia/Hyundai, I wouldn't trust any automaker with cybersecurity or maintaining ethical policies in handling that data with other entities. Sure, our day to day won't change today but skies the limit tomorrow.

 

Yup, just like Toyota, gm and others.

 

Those records (speeding, date/time/locations, etc.) are the first thing I would subpoena in a personal injury case, a divorce or child-custody case, or many other civil or criminal cases. I don't practice those types of law, but I have heard it's common; I don't know of any jurisdictions that prohibit discovery of vehicle black-box data through judicial process, though there might be some that prohibit or significantly restrict it.

I know this is a pretty old thread, so I plan to start a new thread asking whether there is any way to activate the basic features of BlueLink without giving unlimited data access to Hyundai and the insurance companies and others with whom it sells/shares those data.

 

Where there is a will there is a way. I would start with its power source. But we have no privacy anyway. I purchase a widget on line and every on line seller knows about it within seconds!

 

I opted out and cancelled BlueLink shortly after purchas and pulled LexisNexis reports to make sure they were not providing data to them.

Have found BluLink to be mostly worthless anyway. No loss.

Was able to disconnect the LTE antenna on my wifes Bolt EUV and install a resistor on antenna lead so the system only thinks there is no signal. Doesn't throw an error.

 

I have had three Hyundai and I have found the BlueLink mostly useless. Even though I am a retired IT and could do work around the black box, but I don't really care who knows what I do.
