Got a LexisNexis report a few months back. No trip data was in the report. None from any of my previous cars including my current 230i xDrive and my M2.

But...

But I do not have any of the advanced features enabled with CarData being the one in particular that looks like it could collect trip data.

Certainly the CarData Terms and Conditions document states that data that is collected can be released to 3rd parties.

I'll attach a PDF of the CarData Terms and Conditions PDF.

Thank you. Yea we should keep an eye on this, I’ve heard stories of insurance companies receiving performance trip data from GM cars.

They say you have to sign up for it, but apparently the snitch features kick in by simply authorizing a siriusXM trial

Edit: Has anyone accessed their ‘BMW CarData’? I’m confused with the wording, in order to see it do you *also* need to “release the data for transmission to third parties” (?)

I looked into enabling CarData on my 230xi but haven't done it.

For those BMW owners not in the USA this link might be of some interest:

For USA BMW owners, there is this link:

I don't think I'm going to enable CarData. For one thing I believe there is a cost to it and I'm don't want CarData that bad.
