I was able to remote start my stolen TLX
My TLX was stolen two weeks ago, with Acura Link showing the last known location being .5 miles away. The police went there, the car wasn’t there. Haven’t heard a thing since then.
When you report a car stolen with Acura link, you’re not able to see the car dashboard on the app anymore. Today I opened up the app and I was able to see everything. The mileage (added 1,700 miles in 2 weeks), the gas (only 50 miles left but stolen with a full tank), the oil life, etc.
I was able to start the car several times. Lock and unlock it. Trigger the alarm. It was showing me the temperature inside the car. But when I checked the location - same spot, hasn’t changed. I even drove there to make sure the car wasn’t there.
Obviously I pissed off whoever has the car now because they started driving the car immediately, I was live watching the mileage go up. The location disappeared all together.
How is this possible?
Just called Acura link to restart the stolen vehicle locator, so I lost access to the dashboard again. They haven’t located the vehicle yet.
