My understanding has been that the data recorder is part of the airbag module on most vehicles. As far as Onstar goes, on the Onstar equipped vehicles I have worked on dont have a camera or smoke detector or anything like that. I'm sure that if you called Onstar and told them your vehicle was stolen they could remotely disable the vehicle, but the owner of the vehicle would have to be able to give some basic information to prove they own the vehicle.
