Crash Data Retrieval
Crash Data Retrieval (CDR) is the use of a combination of hardware and software to obtain crash or other event data from the Event Data Recorder (EDR) in a passenger vehicle's Airbag Control Module (ACM).

We have the necessary equipment and training to obtain this data using one of the following EDR Tools
  • Bosch CDR Tool
  • Hyundai/Kia EDR Tools
  • Tesla EDR Tool
