hey guys i was wondering if you could provide some info for me?


ok, first, what is the recording length of the cars black box? like say you had a problem with your car and it started acting up would it record that for just that day? and after you shut the car of it would erase and start a new.

or does it keep a but load of info from say like the 1st day you bought the car?

just curious

If im not mistaken the ECU should record everything from day 1.

oh wow lol.

i do know that the black box records like 5 secs of info b4 a crash, but i would think it would reset itself after each time you shut it oof lol and if you didnt crasg that day hahaa.

but i have been reading online the main purpose of it, but i cannot find in recording/tracking length that it has. and a lot of ppl are upset about them beacuse they belive it'self incriminating

Well put it this way, you should even be able to find out how many times you have hit ur rev limiter..
