I know that the key stores mileage/car info, etc. but was curious if there is any place in the car or computer or key that stores data regarding location/speed etc.?
Basically, when I go in for service, can they see that I was doing 120mph in a school zone? (Not that I have)
Could law enforcement supoena the info from the dealer for a ticket dispute?
Just curious.

I bet the ACLU would have a field day if that type of data was kept and LE could issue a subpoena to get it.
My wife freaked out awhile back when the speed limit alarm on the iDrive went off while she was driving my car to her work. I set it at 80mph to remind me when I'm driving too fast - she didn't know about it and called me on my cell when it triggered. She thought the car was going to report her to the police!!
What's better was that after I finished laughing I started getting on her for WTF she was driving that fast in the first place

speaking of speed limit alarm, my came pre set to go off on 120 km/h , its the law here and the dealer cant (wont) turn it off, im talking about the pre-set one not the one u do yourself through i drive. dont ming the ding but the problem is that the from cluster display and the i drive screen all switch to an alarm messege and i cant see or read any info! thats annoying :thumbsdown: can it be turned off

The OBC is more than capable of storing vehicle speed information and my guess would be that it does. My SA showed me reports that listed detailed information such as number of trips, length of trips, and battery voltage just to give you an idea of what I know it already tracks.
