Current position

[keesschollaart81]

Thanks for the Api, nice work!

I'm trying to get the current location of my car, is that in any way supported? The CarFinderService throws:

Exception: API error: {'errorCode': 'CF.security.9007', 'description': 'MBB Roles and Rights responded: 404 - Not Found'}

The CarFinderService requires special permissions for your account. At least here in germany I can't get any data from it. But I guess it would be possible to get the last parked position of the car since the official app also shows these information.

@keesschollaart81 I'm able to run something like this:

cfs = CarFinderService(api,vehicle)
print(str(cfs.find()))

This will show coordinates and parking time so it is probably not "live" while moving, but the parking position as noted by @davidgiga1993
As a note i live in sweden.

Hi davidgiga1993,
I have tested it but some errors like below:

Traceback (most recent call last):

and I had modified the COUNTRY from DE to CN in “/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/audiapi/Services.py” , audiapi had been installed with “pip3 install audiapi” .

Thanks.

In the UK, I can get the car's position when it is locked but not when it is being driven

[davidgiga1993]

@jgardiner68 That's the expected behavior. If you don't have the valet package you can't get the realtime position of the car. Only the parking position.
