Genesis 2015 iPhone App - Find My Car

[Sugrat]

Sorry if this has been posted before, but I tried the find my car feature from the application and I got the following silly message :

"Your vehicle is out of 1 mile range. You must be within 1 mile radius to locate vehicle"

Doesn't this feature seem silly?? I can find my car if I'm sat in my house and the car is outside... But not if my wife has taken it over a mile from my phone

Anyone else tested this?

I haven't used this feature. Is it possible that it's intended use is finding your car in the parking lot when you can't remember where it was parked rather than tracking it down for theft or spouse location? It seems that I recall there is a separate Bluelink option for using location on a wider scale, but I could be waaaaaay off base on that one.

Flyswatter is right it’s only meant for checking parking and valet parking (making sure car isn’t out). I have not seen the option for a far a reaching search but do remember reading it was available to the police in case of a stolen vehicle. I think a call into Bluelink would be initialed in that case.

Thanks guys, you are probably right, guess I'll have to use the find my friends to locate the wife ;-)
