     I sent the info about the new VW warranty enforcement to a friend and 
     he sent me back this info.  Pretty shocking.

Also, the new OBD-III will be hooked into GPS.  It records top speed 
information, location on whereabouts, and also be hooked into the OBD-III 
chip.  When the OBD-III sensor is tripped and the 'check engine' light is 
engaged, this information is also sent to the GPS satellite.  The DMV can 
query this information, and retrieve top vehicle speeds and if they are 
excessive, report them to the insurance company through VIN 
interpretation.  They can also send you a letter stating to get your 
emissions checked by the tripped check engine light, and you will have to 
go to the emissions station and get it rectified.  
     
Law enforcement benefits:
     
during a high speed chase, if that may be the case, they officer can 
relay your tag# to an onboard computer system hooked into GPS.  The 
GPS can then tap into your ECU, and either slow you down or 
temporarily disable the vehicle.  
     
Suck's eh?
