VETRONIX BOSCH GROUP ANNOUNCES THE
ADDITION OF CHRYSLER VEHICLES TO ITS CRASH DATA RETRIEVAL SYSTEM
(CDR) PRODUCT
Santa Barbara, CA. January, 2007 – Vetronix
Bosch Group is pleased to announce an agreement with Daimler Chrysler
that will enable the company to add Event Data Recorder (EDR)
download capability for North American Chrysler vehicles to its
Crash Data Retrieval System (CDR) product. The addition of Chrysler
vehicles to the software now enables accident reconstructionists
and law enforcement agencies access to download crash data from
select Chrysler Vehicles. This will supplement the already-existing
support for General Motors and Ford vehicles.
Vetronix Bosch Group is the sole source manufacturer
for the Crash Data Retrieval System. The CDR System provides accident
reconstructionists with the ability to supplement or verify eyewitness
accounts and other traditional reconstruction methodologies with
data that may be stored within a vehicles Restraint Control Module
(RCM) or Sensing Diagnostic Module (SDM). The CDR tool was initially
launched in 2000 with support for select General Motors Vehicles.
In 2003, support for select Ford vehicles was added. Support for
Chrysler vehicles is currently being added to the product and
is expected to become available mid-2007. The company’s
goal is also to include support for other domestic and worldwide
manufacturers in the near future.
The addition of this coverage will allow accident
reconstructionists, law enforcement agencies and the National
Highway Transportation Administration to obtain electronic crash
data from more vehicles than was previously possible through the
Crash Data Retrieval System.
