Does anyone in this group know if Honda is equiping it's vehicles with a vehicle data recorder? If so which models have them? Thanks > Does anyone in this group know if Honda is equiping it's vehicles with a > vehicle data recorder?

I've heard that it is tied in with the airbag system. So one can assume that anything modern with a 'bag' has one. >> > Does anyone in this group know if Honda is equiping it's vehicles with a >> > vehicle data recorder? If so which models have them?

My understanding is that most cars do not have a recorder. Some GM cars do. I don't think any Hondas do. > My understanding is that most cars do not have a recorder. Some GM > cars do. I don't think any Hondas do. http://www-nrd.nhtsa.dot.gov/edr-site/dataformat.html Contains a presentation of a Lumina verses Civic crash recreated with EDR data. Other pages say that the Hondas record very little data by comparison to the 30 second recorders found in "98% of new GM vehicles". Ford seems to use the same one. http://www.harristechnical.com/downloads/cdrlist.pdf  Signature--- Clarence A Dold - Hidden Valley (Lake County) CA USA 38.8-122.5 >Does anyone in this group know if Honda is equiping it's vehicles with a >vehicle data recorder? If so which models have them? None that I know of. You can buy them as an aftermarket item though, if you've a teenage son whose driving habits you want to monitor, or you're a fleet owner with drivers you suspect of being cowboys. > Does anyone in this group know if Honda is equiping it's vehicles with a > vehicle data recorder? If so which models have them? My Ford Escape has two. It is clearly noted in the owner's manual. One is associated with the dual-stage airbags, so maybe cars with dual-stage airbags have them. A Google shows plenty of hits for "Vehicle Data Recorder" <http://www.thecarconnection.com/index.asp?n=156,173&sid=173&article=7224> "About 15 percent of vehicles now on the road have the data recorders, and NHTSA says between 65 percent and 90 percent of 2004 vehicles have some sort of recording ability.
