Default Is there a way to access the analytics?

Probably dumb question. But does anyone know if there's a way to access the information the truck records?

I know if you hold the right arrow on the infotainment system and the right button on the steering wheel, it brings up all those testing options. But other than that, I'm at a loss.


Reason for the ask. Got pulled over, and the cops claim for my speed was a bit exaggerated in my opinion. Especially when there was people passing me going way faster than me, while he was behind me. Wanted a dash cam for awhile now. And this has been the motivation to get one

Unless you had one of those insurance company beacons like State Farm that tracks your speed, then you might be able to dispute the cop.

Nothing in the truck you would have access to to access that.


I had that happen on the interstate one morning on the way to work. EVERYONE wizzing around me, yet I get pulled over for speeding.

From the web:
"Getting Black Box Data

Black box data is difficult and expensive to get to, and interpreting it takes special training. Extracting the data after an accident involves using a data-retrieval tool kit that consists of hardware, software and a cable that plugs into a car's onboard diagnostics port. That's the same port mechanics use to identify engine problems and insurance companies tap as the basis for use-based insurance policies. Crash data retrieval tool kits aren't cheap, running $2,000-$10,000 and up, not including training costs.

It follows that since drivers own their cars or trucks, they own data the vehicles generate, including black box data. But because it's so difficult and costly to extract, it's virtually impossible for average car owners to do it on their own — assuming that they even want to."
