How do I remove an insurance black box from my car?
I used a black box insurance company because they offered me a pretty good rate, but I'm not sure I love their coverage. I'm thinking of switching insurance to a traditional provider—but I don't know where they actually put the box, and I'm pretty sure i need to move it before I can switch. How can I remove the black box?

telematics box — especially in the U.K. — can vary in ease and simplicity. Here’s how to get started:- Locate the black box. It will likely be in your dashboard or behind the glove box.
- If it’s behind the glove box: Removing the black box will require you to take the glove box out.
