Ecall is mandatory, you'll eventually fail road safety inspections.

Ok, it's basically illegal then, and also enforced. So guess that "just disconnect the modem" advice is wrong.

  • Just reconnect it before the inspection?

    • Don't know if that's detectable or if there's some other gotcha like filing insurance claims after a crash. I'm not in the EU, my cars are pre-modem, and seems like everyone else is guessing too. Is there anyone here who actually disables the modem in the EU and isn't a mechanic?
