No seperate recorder I am aware of, are you DOC? Info preceding a crash would typically be found in the airbag control unit, and if you have teleaid there might be some in there, but not mormally retreivable in both cases except by MB itself, or in the case of Teleaid by the Response Center. Am guessing might give about 10 seconds preceding an airbag deploy.

In my opinion, this would be corrrect, or if there is any true "flight recorder" info on it, it would I believe only be accessable by MB itself (special access with an MB computer, not what they have at the dealerships, more like a Tech Rep or Field Rep, say in the case of a lawsuit against MB they would get permission from a court of law to access this data).
