1. What is the difference between the "Blue" CDR module and the "Green" CDR module?  (2007-09-12)

   The ONLY difference is the color and the branding, meaning it now says "BOSCH" instead of "Vetronix". The internal function of the module has not been changed.

   Every company has a branding which includes things like a particular color associated with their products. Bosch has a "Bosch green" (not to be confused with "John Deere green"). For those who have been around a while, we've seen the interface module start out as being black plastic then blue metal, then blue metal with "CAN Plus" on the labeling. Until the change to the "CAN plus," the interface wasn't changed internally, the change from black plastic to blue metal was cosmetic. There is another cosmetic change coming. The newest kits being released by Bosch will change from blue to "Bosch green" but the internal function will not be changed.

4. Is there a system that can be used to download a 2006 Honda CRV? Can you tell me what system I need? Also can you have some one call me about your product I have used it before and would like to discuss purchasing a new one? I am now out working for myself.  (2009-04-21)

   The Bosch CDR system cannot be used on a Honda. The CDR System can currently be used for access to Ford, GM and Chrysler vehicles only (version 3.2). Honda may or may not have a system that would be accessible using a system they, the OE, would have. The Crash Data group sells the Bosch CDR system and system pricing is found at http://www.cdr-system.com/ but e'll let someone know to call you.
