%X A comparison between readouts of crash data records taken with Axes ADW and Bosch CDR systems is presented. For a small group of readouts a reference was made by reading out the module memory in laboratory conditions, or using the Jaguar-Land Rover Tools. The comparison indicates favourable prospects as to the reliability of Axes ADW tool. The system offers interesting possibilities for vehicles otherwise not supported by any other tools and sporadic errors do not disqualify it from the use for crash reconstruction. However, the observed anomalies emphasize the need for the analysts of these data to have a sound knowledge background as the unconditional trust in the recovered information may lead to misinterpretations. Whenever possible, it is advised to employ various readout systems together with cross checking the recovered data.
