Taking a look through the 2007 S2k owners' manual, it mentions that the 2007 model has a event data recorder. I'm curious to find out if any of the model years have it.

 

AFAIK, 2006+ most likly do but none before that model year do.

I work with those black boxes daily; they are very nifty devices

 

hmm thats gay. Im guessing it records the throttle and speed and rpm's so they can try and void your warenty.

 

Nahh..

Honda find the way to do that anyway, even without that black box.

 

I'm not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing...

 

Its bad thing. Every time you bring your car in for service the state troopers are there handing out tickets

Its like EZPass sure it makes traveling toll roads faster or easier but it also tracks the ET between booths so it can therefore calculate your average speed at which point tickets are sent to your house. Whether you are driving or not

um since when?? EZ pass has never done this.

 

lol either way i haven't got any tickets.

 

Here is the quote from the owners manual:

"Event Data Recorders
This vehicle is equipped with one or more devices commonly referred to as event data recorders. These devices record seat belt use, passenger seat occupancy, airbag deployment data, and the failure of any airbag system
component. This data belongs to the vehicle owner and may not be accessed by anyone else except as legally required or with the permission of the vehicle owner."

I'm not a lawyer, but the way I interpret this is that they need your permission, or court order, to get the information of the black box.
