It looks like it may be the AA's version of On-Star, uses sat-nav and a connection to the ODBC connector to monitor the car.

BTW. Was browsing my next company car choice and noticed that my employer will not buy vehicles with an On-Star type tracking system if it cannot be de-activated as it would allow the car company to determine where our customers are.

Why would onstar want to know about your customers? Genuine question.

I don't know if the locations are stored, but they are available to the Onstar system.

Knowing the locations of our vehicles on a Monday to Friday would give anyone looking at the data a good idea of where our customers are and the ones that we are spending some serious time with.

I guess someone in the fleet team made a decision that this was not acceptable. I do know that some car and electronics manufacturers have business units that are rivals to some of our business units, so I suspect that this may be part of the rationale.

I think the answer has been missposted in the electric car thread. And fixed. :-)
