About Crash Data Retrieval

The CDR System is a combination of hardware and software providing access to vehicle pre-crash and crash data that may be stored in late model passenger cars, light trucks and/or SUVs. This system currently supports certain GM, Ford, Chrysler, Fiat and Toyota vehicles.

The crash data in supported vehicles is recorded to the event data recorder, located in the airbag control module (ACM) and/or powertrain control module (PCM). The CDR System allows users to "image" the crash information from the ACM and/or PCM and display the information in data tables giving crucial information in the analysis of the vehicle crash without erasing or altering the stored data. The Information can then be saved and printed in PDF format.

Crash Data Group is the exclusive distributor for the Crash Data Retrieval System (CDR System) product line. Bosch Diagnostics, the leader in Event Data Recorder (EDR) information retrieval technology, is the only manufacturer to offer the commercially available CDR System.
