And in the app it still says it’s where I parked it
At my sisters this weekend and she gave me a tag to park at her condo. Came out this morning and it’s gone.
Looked on the app and it says it’s still where I parked it.
major freak out till she called the towing company and it’s at their lot.
Glad it wasn’t stolen but not too happy about the tracking on the app right now

It just now shows up on the map. Took forever.
No alrms went off overnight. I guess because no doors were opened etc and the engine wasn’t started

The app registers where the car was the last time it was shut off. If you were towed, the vehicle was never turned on to register a new location.

Maybe it needs to be started for location to update?

I remotely started and stopped and it showed up

That's funny. Imagine being the tow truck driver and you're unloading the truck and it suddenly starts up. Self aware!
The lady at the tow lot said the same thing. Said she was standing next to the car when it started and it scared the shit out of her. Said that it shouldn’t have been towed.
I just feel bad for my sister. She felt horrible. Plus pissed that they towed it with a temp tag

Hopefully the tow company didn't damage anything. One time a tow company broke the locking steering column on my CJ, then claimed it was already broken. I'd hate to have my new car towed, who knows what they stressed or strained trying to load and unload it.

Honestly this is my biggest fear for all new Bronco owners, with the rise of blatant car jackings lately.

That answers one question, on some of ford/lincoln cars they have the alarm where it will trigger if it detects the vehicle being lifted. The mustang has that. I'm wondering on the ford accessory web site the alarm part they have does it add that ability? On the ford app if you goto the vehicle tab drag your finger down to refresh the screen it will contact your vehicle and update the location. The lincoln app has a refresh button to do that.
