I also have remote 3D view. But doesn’t seem to alter the date and time on the first screen. I suppose the only way to be sure would be to tow it and see if the location changes.
I’ll get a proper tracker anyway just to be safe.

If someone put it onto a low loader and took it away, you wouldn’t know, but if they cloned or stole the key, then you’d see where it was parked. However, it’s really easy to switch off GPS tracking in the menu, so not a security feature.
You’ll need a proper tracker, or my security system, GAP insurance! |
The chap I spoke to said the same about disabling GPS in the iDrive. I have a disklok on the steering wheel and also keep the key in a faraday box. I
Plus I have CCTV around the house. And I'm considering an Autowatch Ghost 2 immobiliser. So really it's only going to be someone who badly wants the car and will tow it away.
I was looking at trackers and then was told about these from a friend in the police last night!

Even a USB version that can plug into a power bank if the cars 12v sockets are off!!!

Trust the Chinese to make stuff cheap and easy!
So I'm in two minds over the tracker now.
