Frequently asked questions (10 most recent) Where can I go to find the various diminsions for vehicles? (ie: wheel base, over hang, etc.) Thanks for your help!!! (2008-11-12) There is a web based version of a Vehicle Specification Database on the ARC Network web site. It is located in the "Member's Only" section, so you would need to be a member of the ARC Network to access it. There are "client" versions of a vehicle specifications database available for download to install on your local computer. You would need to Google to find it. ARC Network is located at: www.accidentreconstruction.com Scott Baker Crash Data Group www.cdr-system.com I have two cables marked 02002829 01/00 one with a yellow casing one with out. Which is the current cable? Thank you. (2008-11-12) The current 02002829 cable being shipped does NOT have a yellow casing. Scott Baker Crash Data Group www.cdr-system.com Will the new hardware be shipped if I have a subscription or do I need to order it separately? (2008-11-10) The subscription offered through Bosch is a software only subscription and does not include hardware updates. Due to the varying costs of cable manufacturing and the unknown of when and what cables will be available with newly supported vehicles, Bosch can't offer hardware on a subscription basis. Scott Baker Crash Data Group www.cdr-system.com What are the minimum system requirements to load and run the CDR software on a laptop? (2008-10-21) The Bosch CDR System software runs on a Windows-based operating system and is supported using Windows 2000, Windows XP (Home and Pro), and Windows Vista (beginning with software version 3.1). You will also need either a dedicated serial port or USB port for the CDR Interface Module to run. Scott Baker Crash Data Group www.cdr-system.com We are trying to install the CDR software on a new laptop (our other died) and we get this message: "A serial communications port must be available to collect data from air bag modules. The firmware in the CDR interface module must be reprogrammed to collect data using this version of CDR." How do we update the firmware? Thanks... (2008-09-02) Update the firmware is the same as reprogramming the interface. Do this by first connecting the CDR interface to your laptop via either a serial port ,or a USB port with a USB to serial adaptor in between the laptop and the CDR interface. Then click on the "Special" tab on the top menu bar and select the "Program Interface" pick. Answered by Rick Ruth 313 910 5809. I have seen a time delay/difference on GM vehicles when compared to actual values taken using other equipment. What models or SDM version have this time difference. (2008-08-27) "Time difference?" Your question is pretty vague. Then comparied to what and under what conditions? Many of the apparent differences between timing - for various elements - are addressed in the CDR Training and testing examples from the various conferences. Rusty Haight Collision Safety Institute www.collisionsafety.net I have two questions dealing with the same collision download that was done. The Vehicle in question was a 2002 GMC Sierra. This vehicle was equipped with a manual shut off for the passenger front airbag. On the download it shows "airbag Suppresses" Does this mean the airbag was active and able to deploy or that the airbag was not active. Is there any hexidecimal data that would show if the manual switch was in the "off" position. I have the download report if you need it. Thanks Cpl Dave Domoney Terrace RCMP (2008-08-14) Regarding the switch, assuming that switch was monitored by the airbag control module then "airbag suppressed" means the manual switch was in the "suppressed" position. The hex data is translated by the CDR software and reflects all monitored conditions. Whether or not the switch was in one position or the other - assuming it was monitored by the airbag control module - is reflected as described above. Rusty Haight Collision Safety Institute www.collisionsafety.net What ae the cable numbers to connect to a 2005 chevy silverado (2008-08-12) That depends on the method of download (ie: desktop or DLC) and whether or not you need a USB to Serial adapter and its cable(s). In either case, the cable numbers for access to any model of supported vehicle are found in the CDR Help file and reflect cables that should be available for your licensed copy of the CDR software. Rusty Haight Collision Safety Institute www.collisionsafety.net I have an SDM retreived from a badly burned 2004 Chev Venture. When attempting to download, I receive the "Collect data failed! No communication with module." message. When I run the "Test communication interface.", it tells me that communications with the vehicle interface are fine. Is there any hope of retreiving data from this SDM through Bosch or anyone else? (2008-07-29) Since you describe the van as "badly burned," I'm assuming you're trying a "desktop" download. You mentioned you've tested the interface communications so, while there are two potential modules that error message refers to, you seem to have narrowed it down to communication with the airbag control module. What's missing is an indication of (a) whether or not the module itself was burned or appears, at the connector, melted/damage in some way and (b) whether or not you're using the GM Power Booster AND have the external power applied, per instruction, to the booster and NOT the interface module. Once you attach the booster and power it properly, if the SDM still won't download, you need to establish whether or not there's damage to the module then, the SDM supplier (Delphi, not Bosch) may be able to tell you whether or not they can download it for you but it's a bit pricey. Rusty Haight Collision Safety Institute www.collisionsafety.net Would you be able to provide the release dates for the entire history of the CDR program updates and kits? Thank You. (2008-06-26) We do not maintain a list of the release dates for the entire history of CDR. If you have your original CD's for each major release, they include a readme.txt that provides information specific to that release. Brad Muir Collision Safety Institute www.collisionsafety.net
