1. A system comprising:
- a processor configured to;
receive identification of a vehicle system-usage parameter;
receive identification of a vehicle model in which to track the parameter;
transmit the parameter to wirelessly connected vehicles of the identified model;
receive usage-related tracking data corresponding to the parameter from the wirelessly connected vehicles;
determine if usage-related tracking data indicates usage below a predefined threshold; and
report determined usage-related tracking data when the usage is below the threshold.

Abstract
A system includes a processor configured to receive identification of a vehicle system-usage parameter. The processor is also configured to receive identification of a vehicle model in which to track the parameter. Further, the processor is configured to transmit the parameter to wirelessly connected vehicles of the identified model. The processor is additionally configured to receive usage-related tracking data corresponding to the parameter from the wirelessly connected vehicles. The processor is also configured to determine if usage-related tracking data indicates usage below a predefined threshold and report determined usage-related tracking data when the usage is below the threshold.
