A mate of mine has just had 1 fitted in his truck and was told it can be downloaded via the internet by the office but also acts as a tracker, was wondering if there’s any truth in this ?
You can do it on the Siemens one with an add on but of kit, don’t think you can on stoneridge. Eventually they’ll be gps & maybe remote enforcement but that last part will be a few years coming yet & won’t that be a laugh, something else to worry about!
There is definitely the kit out there to download them remotely. No idea about the tracker thing though. Guess it’s possible. Think the easiest way of downloading them is via RF, so the head connects to a PC every time you pull onto the yard.
We had bus ticket machines that would download when we returned to our depot. This was nearly 10 years ago so the technology exists.
I did a drop at a tachograph centre in Aldershot once, fella there was telling me all about it.
