Relevant context/notes:

1. This assumes that the car's internal navigation system was not used during any portion of the drive (ie if any navigation was used, and I somewhat doubt it would have been, it would have been through an app on a bluetooth connected device);
2. The vehicle is a 2018 Allroad (A4); and
3. I am the owner of the vehicle in every definition of the term (ie registered, fiscally, etc.) and have had a MyAudi account setup since 2018 and Audi Connect is active (but I don't really know what that is and, as such, have never knowingly used it).

I lent my car to someone (in the realm of close friend, significant other, etc.) and - for reasons that we (hopefully) don't need to and/or I don't really want to get into (but I will if it is a prerequisite for getting an answer to this question) - I would like to know where the car went during that drive. I know that when my friend's mom's Audi (wagon, not sure which model but was an older model than mine) was stolen, they were able to track it (that's a crazy story in itself) so I would think that the GPS tracking information is kept someone within the vehicle's computer. So:

• Is it possible for me to retrieve that data somehow? If so how?
• Or is that something that only the dealer can do? If so, any info of cost and what is required of that process?
• Is it something that any good auto repair shop can do?
• Or is this just not achievable without this being related to a bigger situation (ie like if the car had been stolen, police or legal involvement, situations involving subpoenas, etc.)?
• If this information is available, what form will it take? Will it be GPS co-ordinates? Will it be on a map? etc

Any questions that, in being answered could help, feel free to ask.

Thank you.

My Toyota Sienna has maps of your trips, which is great. For the Audi, you can try to Audi app and choose the option that fits your need "valet, speed, geofence, stolen".
