Trying to track my car location
I bought a car from a dealer is LA and having it shipped to me in TX. The carrier is very late picking the car up and I want to keep tabs on it while it's in transit. The MB dealer said I can track it in Mercedes me but the location hasn't changed in 6 hours. I'm guessing the car location quits moving when the ignition is shut off? or maybe with the ignition off it only enables the beacon once every 12 or 24 hours? I have remote start so I suppose I could just start the car to see where it is? lol.

Actually wouldn't surprise me, but it did move from the dealer's parking lot to a street two blocks away so the transport company either picked it up or my car is sitting out in the street somewhere.

I tried to remote start the car but it says the doors are unlocked. I tried to lock the doors and it is not responding.

I got the doors to lock and started the car and it updated the location, it's sitting at a truck stop in Iowa, LA haha. Now it's not letting me unlock the doors, I hope the guy didn't leave the keys inside the car. Oh nvm I got it. Problem now is I only have one more remote start left.

I had a BMW shipped to Texas once and used the BMW app to detect where it was located. It appeared that my transport tracker took loads of breaks. I couldn't tell if he stopped off at home for a weekend in Knoxville or what but it took 5 days to get from VA.
