Unlock the Truth Behind the Crash
At CrashDecode, we specialize in retrieving critical Airbag Control Module (ACM) data—also known as “black box” data—from modern passenger vehicles involved in collisions. Based in Southern Illinois and serving surrounding areas, we provide fast, professional, and mobile crash data retrieval services to clients across the region, including accident investigators, attorneys, insurance professionals, and private vehicle owners.
EDR/Black Box Data Retrieval
Modern passenger vehicles are equipped with Airbag Control Modules (ACMs) that store vital crash-related data, including vehicle speed, braking behavior, throttle position, seatbelt usage, and airbag deployment timing. This “black box” data is essential for accurate crash reconstruction, liability assessment, and legal case support.
At CrashDecode, we specialize in airbag control module data retrieval and Event Data Recorder (EDR) extraction. Our certified technicians use industry-approved tools to safely retrieve crash data—even from severely damaged vehicles. Whether you're involved in a legal dispute, insurance claim, or forensic investigation, we provide accurate, court-admissible data to help uncover the full story behind the crash.
