Not hard wired, but most newer cars have a built-in modem that allows the manufacturer to connect to it and read the odometer, gas gauge, oil level, and other electronic information on the vehicle. There is probably an app that you can install on your smart phone where you can read the same information and even unlock the doors or start the car with your phone.
