Bosch CDR Is Our Best Investigative Tool
Alex Reflects on Going the Extra Mile for Clients
The Issues We Face
First, I started by thinking we could purchase a very intuitive and comprehensive car electronic code scanner. I quickly learned that the tool we needed was the Bosch CDR. I remember the day I asked Chris if I could buy one. I was worried about the big spend. At the time, the tool cost about $7,000. Without hesitation, he said, “Buy it.” So, I did. We have not looked back since. On every single claim, we request to inspect and download the “black box” on every car involved in a collision. The black box is known as the ACM, or airbag control module. Almost every manufacturer supports ACM data retrieval, and the Bosch CDR system is the only way to retrieve it. With each investigation, I am glad I took the leap to purchase that valuable tool, and I am grateful to Chris for approving it. It is just one more way we make sure we provide the best possible investigative resources and support for our clients.
Last month, I wrote to you all about my favorite component of a personal injury case — the case investigation. The pursuit of information is an often rewarding and compelling journey. One of the difference-makers that we employ at Finney Injury Law is the Bosch Crash Data Retrieval (CDR) System. Before we take a dive into the Bosch CDR, a bit of a backstory is necessary. It was the summer of 2020. Chris and I were both back in the office full-time. I found myself wanting more information to understand how the car crashes that our clients are involved in happen. Back in my racing days, we used very advanced computers to help tune our car’s engine control unit, known to car guys as the ECU. Coupled with my passion for aviation, I knew we needed a way to understand the “black box” on an automobile.
