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.

I've got 2 Audi's right now but that video didn't look too horrible, the guy just kept flooring it ... also I always worry about my manual cars because of the clutch more then the automatics ...

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...

From their site:

Arghh I knew I should have gone through and read all the details .... Ok I'll use it for something else I guess :dunno:

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:

Google's Privacy Snoop (or whatever cute & cuddly name they try to call it) does pretty-close to real-time tracking of where your phone has been which you cav view later on the phone. Not sure if it is sharable between phones "live". And you have to leave your phone on in the car somewhere.
