Good except for how it exactly....isn’t. – SyncUP DRIVE Legacy Review

We installed this on our daughter’s Jeep Liberty to give us peace of mind re: location, fuel level, roadside assistance etc. We of course assumed that the most significant possible event (a crash), would also be reported: it wasn’t. She was in a significant crash where airbags came out and injuries occurred. There was NO report to us. It would seem as if this thing can “sense” someone bumping the car, it should be able to sense the kinds of forces involved in a crash. My guess is the dismissive response will be that something like device-access to an airbag PID would be required and that “Jeep doesn’t make that available through OBD-2”, but if that’s the case, the device itself should have some additional kind of (de)ccelerometer in it to provide that function itself. We were able to monitor the car being towed to the wrecking yard though. How nice.
