Vehicle location request?

[rduivenvoorde]

In the official Nissan app I can search for the location of my vehicle (Leaf 2016, 30kWh, takes some time etc etc, but eventually the position appears on the map).

Is this an api call that can be added? Did/can you try? Would be cool to regularly update the position of the leaf on a map :-)

Thanks!

I was hoping to add this. Leaf Manager can do this as well.

I don't see how to do this in the official app. Where is that "search" functionality?

I have a 2014 Leaf, so it could be that it was added in 2015 or 2016.

Leaf manager does this when your phone is paired with the car. Upon disconnect it uses the phone to get current location. This is not possible via the car alone.

@ralin3 you are right, my phone is paired (bluetooth) to the car.

BUT if my wife drives the car on the other side of the country I can (in Leaf Manager) see where she drives. So: it would be fine if it only would work for paired phones too... Or does this make it impossible to use the phone id to get the possition?

I also have leaf manager, and I dont have this functionality. Where is it?

It appears to be a a separate request in the official app. There is a search tab on the bottom of the screen that allows you to request the cars location. The Leaf Manager has a button on the bottom of the home page that says show last location. So it is probably a separate request being sent to Nissan.

Also I can track the cars location when my wife drives the car and her phone is not paired to the car. 2016 Nissan Leaf SV 30 kWhr battery.

I dont have that button at all, anywhere in my app. This is either something that's specific to your car/modell that LM can detect, or I have misconfigured something somewhere.

For reference, the Nissan Connect Home page for me (also Nissan 30 kWh, 2016), most right bottom/tab:

And the actual Search screen with current location:

[dedwards66]

From the Nissan Connect website, it uses this link to request a location update https://www.ev.nissanconnect.com/EV/mycar/mycar_finder#

Looking at the javascript that link seems to submit a form like this (I replaced the token with 'x') action="/EV/mycar/mycar_finder_request">

I wonder if the phone app uses a different link or method.

I also found code that checks to see if the cars VIN number allows for google voice. If yes, it requests more to display on the web page.

I don't think this feature works for a 24Kwh 2014 leaf? Or at least I can't see the option to find the car in my app. I'm in the UK

I've committed a change that provides this support, though it still doesn't seem to work with my 2014 model.
