Forensic analysis of vehicle app connection data – using manufacturer apps and vehicle links for forensic purposes
Many manufacturers offer mobile apps that allow a vehicle to be linked to a user account and remotely controlled or monitored. This can result in the generation of connection and usage data both on the mobile device and in the vehicle itself.
This data may be relevant for determining which user account and which mobile device were linked to the vehicle and actively in use at any given time.

Our services
We analyse available app connection data from both the vehicle and the mobile device, and document connection and usage periods in a manner that is forensically verifiable.
Typical areas of application
This is how a vehicle app analysis is carried out
Once the vehicle data and, where available, mobile device data have been backed up, connection and usage logs are extracted and cross-referenced.
Why is vehicle app analysis relevant in a forensic context?
Linking a user account to a vehicle can provide important insights into whether the vehicle is being used with or without authorisation.
The use of remote control functions, such as door locking or location tracking, can also be documented in a manner relevant to forensic analysis.
