If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there
eCall and Gen4 was created by facade
Reading Another Forum someone seemed upset that his new car has eCall, which is the system that automatically phones 112 if the car detects a crash, and sends your location, identity and whether airbags etc have deployed. It can also be used to monitor your position and listen in to your conversations, except it really isn't absolutely definitely not being used for that at all by anyone :whistle:
It is mandatory on all vehicles type approved in the EU after March 31st 2018.
When was the Gen4 type approved? Does it have eCall? There is no manual button that I have noticed.

That sort of thing doesnt surprise me any more. People willingly allow the potential to be spied upon nowadays, what with alexa and stuff. Brave new world was right, in that ... in the future there will be no need to foreceably control society, instead people will be willing participents. RIP Aldous Huxley.

I'm very careful what I say in front of Alexa, only Politically Correct conversations in the living room! :laugh:
Surprises me that there are people who don't think that Alexa monitors your conversations, and that every 'phone call and email passes through GCHQ......

If there is a button then it's in the interior light housing. Page 10-12 of the user manual shows it

Thanks, found the page, mine hasn't got it then.
The type approval must be before April 2018 then, or there is some sort of exemption that I can't find, or it is just the automatic system.

In the manual there is a test sequence you can go through to test eCall. You could try this sequence to see if a warning light somewhere is activated to show it is operating ok.
