Indiana Infotainment Forensics
Professional Investigators for Over 20 Years
Our certified Infotainment Forensics technician uses iVe software to provide services to private and law enforcement clients. This software extracts and analyzes data from vehicle systems, including passenger interactions, but it’s different from EDR data used in crash reconstructions. It’s vital for investigations, helping to determine what happened, where, and who was involved. With modern vehicles generating up to 25 GB of data per hour, our software handles this vast information. The data, useful in conjunction with other investigative techniques like EDR assistance and cell phone dumps, offers insights into contacts, witnesses, and people in the car. It’s also beneficial to align this data with CCTV footage and other forensic tools for a thorough investigation. This serves as a powerful tool to uncover critical details, but can be maximized when used in conjunction with our other forensic tools and experience.
Our team handles all the leg work involved in finding and extracting this information, compiling the information into a relevant report, and delivering all the information along with an easy to understand comprehensive report of our findings.
Infotainment in vehicles combines information like location with entertainment options, evolving from basic radio to include features like navigation, phone integration for calls and texts, and even social media use while driving. Cars with built-in Wi-Fi hotspots further enhance this integration. It’s a system that merges vehicle data and functions with the driver’s need for information and entertainment, offering features like radio, podcasts, phone calls, and access to social media apps.
Data from vehicle infotainment systems includes vehicle specifics like serial and part numbers, VINs, and build numbers. It also tracks connected devices (phones, USB drives, SD cards), navigation details (saved locations, previous destinations), and route information (active/inactive routes, tracklogs). Additionally, it records events like door and light statuses, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connections, GPS syncs, odometer readings, gear positions, driver warnings, and device IDs. It also stores call logs, contacts, SMS logs, and media files like audio, video, and images.

Based on the provided VIN (year, make, model, Trim), it is possible to determine a list of potential data artifacts.
The availability of different data types varies depending on the vehicle. By supplying us with the VIN and Year, Make, and Model trim, we can anticipate the expected data based on the manufacturer’s specifications.
However, it is important to note that the recoverability of a data type does not guarantee the presence of actual data. It is possible that certain features have never been utilized by the vehicle’s occupants.
It is crucial to emphasize that this process is non-destructive, with only a few limited exceptions.
The duration of data download can significantly differ among vehicle manufacturers.
