Car tracking system
Hey People,
Just wondering, does anyone know if our cars come with a security tracking system or GPS tracking system? With all the recent sh$t on the news about car jacking It would be nice to track our cars in the event it gets stolen to inform the police so they can catch the thieves. I know some people put aftermarket GPS trackers that look a bit complicated. Does anyone have any devices they can recommend? |

Just use the connected drive and the BMW remote app. Turn on GPS tracking in iDrive setting.

Just read up on it... Apparently there is a 1,500 meter (1.5km) radius
I don't think I have a restriction on mine however. I've tracked it more than the claimed 1,500 meter (1.5km) radius. Last edited by IXVXI; 10-17-2016 at 07:28 AM.. |

Also if you have an iPhone and IOS10, it will tell you where your car is with GPS location. Handy when you park your car at a shopping mall and come out looking for your car...
