TRACETECH™ HEDR Offers Integrated EDR Access for Hyundai, Kia and Tesla Vehicles

As vehicle technology continues to evolve, accident investigators, forensic experts and insurance professionals are facing a growing challenge: how to access crash event data efficiently across different vehicle platforms without relying on multiple separate hardware packages.

TRACETECH™ HEDR Vehicle Event Data Retrieval System is designed to provide a more integrated approach to EDR data access. Instead of requiring separate tool kits for different vehicle groups, HEDR brings multiple vehicle access capabilities into one professional platform, including selected Hyundai and Kia models, as well as Tesla model-series support.

Integrated Support in One System

In many EDR tool configurations on the market, Hyundai/Kia access and Tesla direct-to-module access may require separate kits, adapters or additional hardware packages. This can increase the overall system cost, complicate procurement, and create more cable management work for field users.

HEDR takes a different approach.

The system supports both OBD plug-and-read access for compatible vehicles and direct ACM module connection for heavily damaged vehicles or cases where OBD access is not available.

For Tesla vehicles, HEDR includes standard cable support for major Tesla model series, including Model 3, Model Y, Model S and Model X. For Hyundai and Kia vehicles, HEDR supports selected models within its compatible vehicle database, helping users handle more cases with one system.

Reducing Hardware Complexity for Field Investigation

For law enforcement agencies, forensic laboratories, insurance investigators and crash reconstruction professionals, equipment simplicity matters.

A more integrated EDR system can help reduce the need for multiple separate kits, simplify field preparation, and make it easier for users to manage cables, adapters and software workflows during real investigations.

This is especially important when users need to respond quickly at accident scenes, workshops, forensic labs or insurance inspection sites. With HEDR, investigators can work through a guided software process and generate professional reports after successful data retrieval.

A Practical Complementary EDR Solution

HEDR is not intended to replace every existing EDR tool in the market. Instead, it provides a practical complementary option for users who need broader access to modern vehicle platforms, especially electric vehicles and Asian automotive brands.

By integrating Tesla support, selected Hyundai/Kia coverage, OBD access and direct ACM connection into one system, HEDR helps professional users improve operational flexibility while reducing the burden of purchasing and managing multiple hardware packages.

One Platform, More Efficient Workflow

As vehicles become more electronic, more connected and more diverse across global markets, EDR tools must also become more flexible.

TRACETECH™ HEDR is developed for professional users who need a practical, field-ready and integrated crash data retrieval solution. For distributors, forensic service providers, law enforcement units and insurance investigation teams, HEDR offers a streamlined way to strengthen crash data retrieval capability across modern vehicles.
