does anyone know of a tracking device to follow my car when I'm not in it ..,
Whenever I bring my car in for service I'm always worried when I leave it over night if anyone is driving it .... Are you aware of any device I can put in my car to track it 24/7 that I can track with my iPhone or computer when I give it to service or even when I leave it overnight in a parking garage in the city.

You could also normally leave it on your kid's car to make sure he's behaving. ;) |

I'm frustrated ... Between bmw, Audi and Porsche I am tired of wondering why they put so many miles on my cars when they are in for service |
With the Tesla, I can monitor it real time from the Tesal App... Includes a map and driving direction, speed.

No recommendation whatsoever :D |
Garmin sells a GPS tracker aimed at dogs but you can track anything with it.
Edit: Here it is, but it looks discontinued... http://www.amazon.com/Garmin-Trackin...acker+for+dogs |

Just leave your kid's i-phone in the glove box and use the find my phone app.

Saves me many texts and calls with my wife. Kids love to track mom as she makes her way home. |

Meanwhile I was thinking of what device I have that has the find iphone app but they all need wifi to be connected ... |
A dash cam that runs with the car might be even better. Than you can actually monitor the driving behavior.

Hey, AF - You have an Audi in the family right? :eek:

Nothing like doing a little nose candy in someone else's car. :O
I'm not fully up to speed on this stuff, but I thought there were several trackers available that were primarily intended for parents to keep track of their kids. Things that plug into OBD ports, for example, to monitor driving parameters along with GPS. I suppose a savvy tech could find one of those easily enough. |
I have a Metromile, https://www.metromile.com/technology/
I got it a few years ago and they sent me a OBDII device that has its own cellular data connection. It's free and I can see trips I've made, MPG, est. fuel cost, and when parked on the street I get street cleaning warnings. I'm not sure if they still give it away for free, they try to sell per-mile insurance and that's how the company makes money. |

BTW Who is crazy enough to post that video ... do you think that is really an audi mechanic :dunno: I kind of wonder because of the subtitles showing what he was doing. Meanwhile I like the idea of a cam in the car so that the person driving it knows they are being recorded. |
Haha I almost bought my car from Audi Palo Alto.

I think this might be the answer, there don't seem to be any fee's accept for the cost of the actual tracker. I ordered a few of them to try out.

Only issue with those is that someone else using the Trackr app has to be within 100 feet of the device in order to let it send you the location...

Reminder to self ... Never order things while in the office and in business mode :mad: |
Both the R8 and 911 are going in for service and this thought came to me again, I want a tracker and it seems there are a lot more options but it gets confusing ... any ideas on what I can put in my car to track its location in real time ? Do I need to pay a fee or are there units that don’t make you pay it :dunno:
