I kinda think it gets better...or worse ;)
From what I've seen so far, the SyncMyRide registration site to obtain
the "Vehicle Health Report" only requires a VIN. Those are easy to get, such as from Ebay Motors (and of course plenty of other places, the vehicle dashboard, accident reports, etc.). With the vehicle's VIN, *it seems* that anyone can go to SyncMyRide website, then register someone else's car to anyone's contact information (cell phone, email) to receive "Vehicle Health Reports." The tie-in of the registered cell phone to that vehicle' SyncMyRide service audio recording capability becomes an issue if we recall from the terms of service: "....Both recorded utterances and WCRs may be associated with you or the cell phone number assigned to the Service...." Btw, has anyone seen the actual "Vehicle Health Report" from SyncMyRide? Wondering what kind of info is there.
