European General Safety Regulation - (EU) 2019/2144 ▶ The following features were added to support the new GSR 2019/2144 regulation in Europe: ‒ VIN Masking: The GSR states that the “… event data recorder shall not be capable of recording and storing the last four digits of the vehicle indicator section of the vehicle identification number…”. For all European market users of the CDR Tool, the CDR Tool will mask the last 6 digits of the user's entered VIN after saving the CDR file. ‒ Manually add Vehicle Type, Variant, and Version: for some OEM vehicles, CDR now supports the ability to prompt the user to manually add Vehicle Type, Variant, and Version information in the CDR file prior to saving a CDR file. This applies to some OEM vehicles as they roll out GSR requirements
