the dealership that I purchased the truck from gave me the best dealership experience I had in many ways. So I do not really blame them. They were working around my schedule so probably did not have time to remove it once I declined coverage.
That's not the point, really. It should have never been installed in the first place. Even if they remove it, the damage has likely already been done to the factory wiring to install it in the first place. The amount of energy (if any before it's activated) is nominal so I wouldn't have it removed as an energy saving measure. Your tire pressure fluctuations will likely affect the overall energy consumption 100x more than this device to give you an idea and most people don't fret too much about that. Other than potential wiring issues down the road it's not really much of an issue and most owners wouldn't ever realize it. Personally, I'd be pissed but I'm far more particular about my tire pressure and vehicles that most users.
Don't take this the wrong way..but there are *some* dealers who do this as a preventative measure if they think you're a flight risk (or the truck is). This way its easy to track down or repo the truck.I just saw this device under the dashboard next to the obd reader.
seems like some kind of aftermarket install.
do you have it? Does anybody know what it is?
The dealership doesn't care because they're not the lending institution. Once the sale is processed they get paid and you're the bank's problem if you financed the truck. It's up to the bank to repo the truck if you miss a payment but it has nothing to do with the dealership.
That’s great to hear . I also purchase my vehicles from a really wonderful Ford dealership so it’s nice to there are still some good ones left . It’s surprising they still install these by default though . They must have an extremely good conversion rate on sales.
Dealers can be the worst.
