The Bosch CDR 500 FlexRay Adapter is a specialized communication adapter used with the Bosch CDR Tool to retrieve Event Data Recorder (EDR) crash data from select supported vehicles that utilize a FlexRay communication network. SKU: CDR-500Bosch Part #: 1699200114Platform: Bosch CDR Tool Why is the CDR 500 FlexRay Adapter Used? FlexRay is a high-speed vehicle communication protocol used in certain vehicle systems and requires a different interface than conventional CAN-based communication. The CDR 500 FlexRay Adapter provides the necessary interface between the Bosch CDR Tool and supported FlexRay-equipped vehicle systems, allowing the CDR Tool to properly communicate with and image EDR data from designated modules. The CDR 500 is not a universal adapter and is only required for specific Bosch CDR-supported applications. Always refer to the current Bosch CDR Software Help File > Vehicle Lookup to confirm whether the CDR 500 FlexRay Adapter is required and to identify the correct CDR cables, VCI, connection method, and retrieval procedure for the vehicle being imaged.
