I actually posted this on another thread, afterword, I thought it should stand alone
My 2021 Raptor has two interior cameras. They said it is to detect inattentive drivers. A buddy with the DEA told me, with a court order, they can conduct live surveillance…..sound and video, via the cameras.. The owners manual indicates the cameras record to the EDR on a 30 second loop. My friend told me the cameras can be remotely operated. Naturally, I looked at the UConnect screen inside my new 2024 X and like my Raptor, it has a black plastic, for the lack of a better word, window, attached to the left side of the main screen. I am totally anti big brother and therefore had my Raptor torn apart. Black Duct tape now blocks the camera on both the GPS screen and door. Wrangler doesn’t have it on the door. Does anyone know what is behind the black window next to the GPS? If the DEA can do it, so can a 12 year old with a computer.

I understand.wanting to protect your privacy. As I type this, I have duct tape on the camera on this computer, for example.

Ok, here's what I don't get. I have never heard of such a thing ever being evidence. That doesn't mean it isn't, but if this were so easily done, it would happen all the time.

And beyond that, you have posted about it in an online forum for the public to see. Now, the DEA and every other three-letter agency knows you drive a wrangler and are really worried about the gubmint knowing what you do while driving.

And further, even if you cover all the cameras, they still have all the data on where the darned thing was driven, etc., and at what time, and from where, and at what speeds.

So, I doubt this is going to help you much.

Your Jeep spying on you is amateur hour compared to your phone, your smart watch, the u connect system, your smart tv at home and whatever other connected services you have.

big brother is all around you. Your Jeep is probably the least offensive of all your stuff

When the Big Brother Corporations suddenly deviate your vehicle into the Jeep accessory parts store parking lot I’m sure they also want to record your surprise and reaction. That’s why the camera is there.

Why is it called Big Brother? Kinda odd really. Whose big brother spied on them and told their parents?

The unit is likely designed to house driver facing camera for when they are mandatory in the EU as part of the GSA rules. It's cheaper to make one screen.

I don't know about you guys but my big brother never looked out for me. He always used any bit of information to get me in trouble. He always pretended to help but then... I feel I'm missing something.🤔
That's between you and your brother.

Is he really your buddy or a DEA mole?
