Telemetrics - data storage?

[Venisonpie]

Unfortunately I was rear impacted by a Transit yesterday, driver was apologetic etc however I deal with fleet claims fairly regularly and wouldn't be surprised if he subsequently tries to deny/ mitigate liability. There were no witnesses.

My car is specced with telemetrics, does anyone know if it stores data about the cars speed, direction, gear selected etc? I wonder if there's anything that could be downloaded to support what happened.

As far as I know telemetrics does not have any data logging function. Early manuals reference it but it was never implemented, and if it did you'd have to press record in any case.

This sort of thing is a pain, my car was hit when parked and the van drove off and I had to claim on my own insurance.

Thanks for that, I suspected as much. It should be a very clear case as it was front to rear but you never know with people.

The little car stood up well to being hit by 2t of transit at circa 30mph.

Unfortunately, this information won't help VenisonPie, the Original Poster, but the A110's Telemetrics does record some data for later review. I discovered this, while adding extra music albums to my micro-USB stick, when I noticed an unknown folder had been added to the stick.

The A110's Telemetrics automatically adds a folder called "RS" to the root of the stick. During a very brief test, I found that:
- the [Save] button on the 'G-G Diagram' captures a PNG format screenshot of the diagram into a sub-folder called "Screenshots". The screenshots files are named in the format: '<date><time><latitude><longitude>.png'. No other data was saved, just the diagram.
- similarly, the 'Stopwatch' function saves '.TXT' text files (with Unix line-feed characters) in a new folder called "Highscores". File-name formats are identically to G-G diagrams and contain the following information. Note: It's possible that the gap could contain lap start- and stop-times, however, I hadn't activated lap timing:

Start_Latitude ::51.363647
Start_Longitude::-0.652632
Start_Time::11:51:25:54


Best_Lap::00:00:00'00
Stop_TotalTime::0:0:29:66
Stop_Latitude::51.362873
Stop_Longitude::-0.655274
Stop_Time::11:51:55:24

For information, my stick was a 16GB USB stick, formatted as FAT32.

Slight error in the above. The timing files-names are formatted as:
'<date><time><latitude><longitude>chrono.txt'

e.g:
"2022_02_19_11_51_25_51.363647_-0.652632_chrono.txt"
