Description
WHEN INVESTIGATING A VEHICLE COLLISION Use the CrashScan App with the OBDLink MX+ Bluetooth adapter to scan the car's computer modules, including the Event Data Recorder (EDR), aka "blackbox", when supported (see support below). CrashScan helps investigators to flag, capture and interpret stored prior accident data. The crash data can be used to validate motor vehicle insurance claims and provide a lead indicator for liability or questionable collision claims.
VEHICLE SUPPORT (Event Data Recorder & Full System Diagnostic Scan) Over 3000 unique year/make/models are supported internationally, which can be confirmed here: https://collisionsciences.ca/reports/check_support/
CONTEXTUAL ACCIDENT REPORTS If the "CrashScan" is successful, the report will provide details on impact severity, impact orientation (front/rear/side impact), and provide context, such as: - if the accident was: minor, moderate, or severe - information on EDR trigger thresholds - 5.0 seconds of pre-crash speed, brake pedal and accelerator pedal use, and steering - number of occupants in the vehicle, seatbelt status - provide an estimated damage repair amount (economic cost in $) - indicate whether there was likely structural crush damage - provide injury risk thresholds (whiplash, injury duration) - typical g-forces in daily activities for context *injury risk algorithms consider the stored acceleration values, scientific articles and databases such as the National Automotive Sampling System (NASS)

Better than CARFAX or Car proof. This app shows all hidden accidents that didn't go through an insurance company. Automatically connects and shows entire history of the vehicle.
★★★★★Marc G· May 28, 2023
The support for this app is amazing, very prompt responses, a very helpful hands on app creator. This app is geared for accident investigators and is fantastic for that purpose. If you are an attorney who handles car accidents this will likely yield useful information for you as well. I had an incident occur with a vehicle and needed to know If someone was telling me the truth and this helped me confirm it. My use is likely outside the normal scope of use as a norm person but its def great

Works with the OBDLink MX+ to replace expensive OEM "black box" scan tools. The best pocket tool for any auto insurance accident claims investigator.
★☆☆☆☆Robert Van Ralph· Oct 27, 2019
Couldn't get into app. Uninstalled then tried to reinstall, and it would not allow me to download the app. Apparently the app has some bugs to work out.

Developer decides if you need or not the app, what a bunch of BS!
★★☆☆☆Tony C· Oct 30, 2019
This is a closed app. You must be in the business to use it or even register. 2 stars since it wasted my time to download with no use.
