These guys offer a service to extract the pre-crash data from your GM car.

Any crap like this in our Subarus?

Just currious because of the minor GM relationship.

if we did have event data recorders, it would've ended the "12mph turbo spool - crash into a house" thread pretty fast.

The only time our cars save data is when it throws a check engine light.

Exclamation I bet subs do record....
We stumbled on to this post during a Google search.....

Not so fast....I would be willing to bet the Subarus also record crash data.

The dealers have no idea about crash data. The factory scan tools cannot collect crash data.

I bet Subaru Legal or Engineering has a way to collect black box data.

Most air bag systems DO record data.

Most owners, technicians, dealers, etc are not aware of it....

So far....only GM and Ford have released the access to Vetronix. Toyota and Chrysler are also going to allow access to the data.
