Default Black Box

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

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
