CrashScan | Accident Detector is a diagnostic utility that helps collision investigators, adjusters, and repair professionals capture and interpret vehicle crash data quickly and accurately. Paired with an OBDLink MX+ Bluetooth adapter, the app reads onboard modules including Event Data Recorders (black boxes) when supported, then flags and extracts stored crash records for analysis. Users download the app to validate insurance claims, assess impact severity and orientation, and produce contextual reports that summarize pre‑crash behavior, likely repair implications, and initial indicators of liability. Coverage spans thousands of vehicle year/make/models, and guided demo materials help teams get started.

Key Features

⭐ Broad vehicle coverage across more than 3,000 unique year/make/models internationally to maximize compatibility.

⭐ Generates detailed accident reports showing impact severity, orientation (front, rear, side), and EDR trigger thresholds.

⭐ Includes pre‑crash metrics such as speed, brake/accelerator/steering inputs, occupant count, and seatbelt status.

⭐ Injury risk and g‑force context based on stored acceleration values combined with scientific literature and NASS data.

⭐ Demo videos and setup guidance are provided to assist first‑time users and field operators.

Advantages

✅ Speeds evidence collection and supports faster, more objective claim validation for insurers and investigators.

✅ Wide vehicle support reduces compatibility gaps when examining different makes and model years.

Disadvantages

❎ Requires an OBDLink MX+ Bluetooth adapter and physical access to the vehicle to retrieve stored data.

❎ Not all vehicles include an Event Data Recorder or support the same modules, so compatibility must be confirmed per vehicle.

❎ Privacy and legal restrictions in certain jurisdictions may restrict data downloads or require explicit owner consent.
