So I picked mine up tonight about 7pm ... Went for a drive to nowhere and put about 100 miles on her, do not regret the 8 month wait at all!

Feeling like the last day of school before the holidays [emoji16]

Wouldn't have worked, can ...

Vesselfinder and communication with your dealer is going to give you a better idea about what's going on.

This is the truth, the tracker is useless.

When I spoke to my dealer ...

That is pricey for such a small piece of electronics. What I don't understand is why car manufacturers cannot put this tech built into the key... It seems so basic to disable the key once still for a short time. Interesting to know if this device has any impact on the battery life of the key ...
