I though AllData CDs were specific to manufacturer/vehicle?

Second!  You remember how you'd be watching a movie in high school and it
didn't matter what kind of movie or where you were watching it..  Parents
would always enter the room during the sex part?  It could be the 15
seconds of nudity in a 2 hour movie.  They'd time it perfectly.  I was
watching Fargo with my wife (pre-marriage) and her parents came downstairs
during, yep, the sex part.  10 seconds in an utterly horrible, stupid and
all to predictable movie.  Ya....

Same here.  No idea either.  Usually get around 22-24...
