Forensic analysis of in-vehicle streaming and app usage – forensic analysis of media and app usage data in the infotainment system
Modern infotainment systems are increasingly incorporating streaming and app functions, with usage histories, registered accounts and connection times sometimes being stored locally or via linked accounts.
This data may be useful for understanding the actual use of such functions whilst the vehicle is in motion or stationary.

Our staff have decades of experience in the field of information technology and assist companies, solicitors, private individuals and, on a regular basis, the courts in the technical investigation of complex digital matters.
The examination is, as a matter of principle, carried out exclusively on a forensic copy, a forensic image or a data source captured in a technically equivalent manner that preserves the integrity of the evidence. The original evidence remains unchanged and is stored in a manner that preserves its integrity.
Our services
We analyse the available streaming and app usage data from the infotainment system and document usage periods and linked accounts in a manner that is forensically verifiable.
Typical areas of application
How a streaming/app usage analysis works
Once the infotainment system has been backed up, the available usage logs are extracted and organised chronologically within the investigation process.
Why is the analysis of streaming and app usage relevant from a forensic perspective?
Evidence of active use whilst driving may be relevant when assessing whether distraction was a cause of the accident.
Identifying the linked user account can also help to clarify which person was driving the vehicle.
