My iPhone is paired with my new Mustang, now the Maps app on the phone tells me where my car is. Does that mean there is a factory fitted tracker in every Mustang? If the insurance company insists on a Tracker installed are we doubling up?

Does it not just tell you where the car is when its connected?
Or if you then move the car does the location change on your map?

Think you will find it’s just the iPhone marking the location as it does this on my mustang which is a MY16

I have an AA Car Genie in the OBD socket & that does show where the car is even if the phone was not in the car when locked. It also monitors & warns of any fault codes or low battery charge. The phone does not need to be anywhere near the car as the device has a SIM.

Ford Pass also keeps track of your car. It allows you to start your car with your phone (if you have an auto),lock/unlock your car, check fuel level on your phone, find your car, pre pay parking, schedule maintenance etc.
