I did put an AirTag in my Bronco. The center console is not a good space for them, too low in the vehicle where the metal of the doors blocks the signal. I purchased a Pelican Protector stick on mount and put it on top of the roll bar mid vehicle. Someone could see it with the entire top off, but I don’t anticipate having more than just the front panels off very often.
Smart, will check it out!

I remotely started and stopped and it showed up
For future reference, you can just swipe down on the screen that shows GPS location, odo, fuel etc. in the FordPass app to refresh if the location didn't update automatically.

That would be pointless. I love the fact I can be headed back to work across town, in a company vehicle and start my Bronco so it's ready when I get back to head home.
I am not disputing that there are use cases for it. Just kinda weird they’re not regulated to prevent you from asphyxiating a household from across the globe!

Isn’t there a show about that, “How to get away with murder”.

Funny story! I have scheduled starts for 4:40pm every work day. Well I have multiple other vehicles I drive. Two times now I've forgotten to turn the scheduled starts off and the Bronco has been in my garage. Luckily my garage is detached 😂

I assumed remote start had a geofence requiring you to be within a certain distance from the vehicle for it to work…
I think if you use the app it's different than the remote. Not 100% though.

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

The app is Garbage. My location on my 19 Ranger last updated October '20. According to Ford I have not moved my Ranger from my parents driveway in over a year.
