BOSCH AND MAZDA SIGN AGREEMENT

Bosch and Mazda Motor Corporation have entered into a license agreement to allow Bosch access to Mazda Event Data Recorder (EDR) system information, for the purpose of supporting Mazda automobiles with the Bosch Crash Data Retrieval (CDR) tool.

The CDR tool that is designed, manufactured and sold by Bosch is used by law enforcement, accident reconstructionists, government agencies and insurance companies to retrieve and translate EDR records.

Mazda is one more in a growing list of vehicle manufacturers that have agreements with Bosch to access this data. Bosch already has agreements with Chrysler, Ford, General Motors and Toyota to support EDR readouts from their cars and light trucks.

The Bosch CDR software is available as either a one-year or three-year software subscription. A subscription purchase will allow the user to automatically receive all CDR System Software updates released during the subscription period. The CDR software can be downloaded from the Internet, and will include an installation program that allows users to install and run the CDR program on one computer
