Ok, so what the heck is the reasoning behind not being able to see where the car is located when it is moving or has ignition/engine on?
To be able to see where the wife is to be able to get a cuppa on the table for her, and for her to see how far away i am from home etc would be extremely useful. Let alone if, god forbid, the car was stolen... it would be VERY useful to know where the car actually was, rather than waiting for it to be parked up and switched off.
I think insurance companies wouldn't even consider it unless you can track the car at all times, which you can't with this.
Seems very much like a missed opportunity, but someone somewhere must have actually made the choice of not allowing the tracking when the car is on. I can't honestly say I can think of any valid reason why.
Add-on question... is there any VCDS/ODB11 hacks which would circumvent this?
