So the cops are claiming they can pull my "black box" to determine if i was speeding.. I looked in to it and a lot of GM's have them.. and there are a few threads on here about a proposed black box, but do we have one or no?

05 evo?

Air bags never went off or anything.. so I donno why it would record anything?

 

Well were you speeding? Otherwise you don't have anything to worry about.With that said no the Evo doesn't have a "black box".

 

no black box as far as i know

 

With as many build as there has been, from numerous shops/members who have torn their Evo down bare......



never heard of a black box for the Evo.

 

didnt think so.. just a cop trying to rile me up.. haha

 

there is no black box... you shouldve of told the cop to pull the black box. i wonder how long he wouldve of been there

 

This. He was just trying to get you fired up. Next time say, okay, and see what he does. Nothing better than calling out a liar on the spot...

 

Lmao!

 

the fuse box is black, that's probably what the cop wanted. some fuses.

 

id call bs on the spot...my luck he'd find one

 

i was thinking to my self.. sure even if there WAS ONE...

after tephra's v7 and all these mods and all these removed sensors(map, AIT, Etc) ... the black box is prob so confused.. it would prob be like.. was the car even on?

 

The is and isn't a black box in every car! It's not like the black box on a plane its just your regular OBD2 that records and stores paramaters and keeps rerecording. When I was a tech at a dealership we used to be able to access alot of info to determine when the DTC was set and under what conditions etc.

As far as this cop it's bull cause as far as I know you cant just plug and start reading info for a speeding ticket. However if someone was involved in a crash and such after warrants and special manufacture access you can acquire info as to blinkers being on or off, seatbelt being worn, brake being applied or not, full throttle or not etc.

 

You should have said.

"Officer what I think you're talking about is the white box - Crispy Creme hasn't ever come in a black box."

 

the only thing is that if you do call their bluff . they'll tow your car impound it, wait for a search warrant , and in the mean time you have to pay an impound fee. just so they can prove a point
probable cause or some BS like that

 

cop was just trying to scare you, next time one says so, just go with it and have them pull the black box
