GIT is expected to expand ADAS data imaging capabilities for select Genesis, Hyundai, and Kia vehicles based on their EDR 2.0 User Manual.
Sundar Raman Nagarajan, Kent E. Boots, and Shawn Harrington reviewed 156 EDR reports, combed OEM service resources, and spoke with GIT to better understand what’s coming and how to future-proof current cases. They’re kindly sharing their findings here.
This investigation kicked off when Kent found that the 2.0 manual identifies a new “ADL main body” (ADAS Data Logger) and adapters (in vehicle and D2M cables) to communicate with the “ADAS_DRV2 ECU.” This suggests data like that from Toyota’s VCH or GM’s FCM/ASCM is coming down the pipe.
GIT ADL (ADAS Data Logger) Main Body
Through 2026, the authors did not find any vehicles equipped with DRV2 ECUs, only DRV and DRV1.5. However, the authors raise an important question: will we be able to get data from those older systems once the new ADAS interrogation system is up and running?
No one can be certain as of now, so the authors' advice is this: “if you have the right case where potential ADAS data may be important, removing any/all of the three modules listed above would future-proof your case.” They also recommend pulling the ACM.
Coverage charts are also presented in the paper, showing which vehicles have the DRV and DRV1.5 units, and what vehicles are known to include limited ADAS data in the current “traditional” EDR report. If you can help them fill in any blanks, please reach out to Kent at: kent@getedrdata.com.
Bottom line, it looks like we’re getting a lot more data from Hyundai/Kia before long, and it might be worth removing and storing modules in specific cases.
Thanks for reading, keep learning!
