Mandatory parameter(s) missed or blank: dlat and dlon are required for BMW vehicles

[mnbf9rca]

I have a 3 series. I'm not using the API, but wondered if anyone else had noticed this too. When I make a call to /webapi/v1/user/vehicles/'.$vin.'/status i get:

{
  "error": {
    "code": 500,
    "description": "(SmartPhoneUtil-A-101) Mandatory parameter(s) missed or blank: dlat and dlon are required for BMW vehicles!"
  }
}

if i add the lat + long of my home as querystring paramaters (/?dlat=x&dlon=y) it works but i don't get a lot of other data (e.g. door status) although i guess that's to do with the options available on my car:

{
  "vehicleStatus": {
    "vin": "(my VIN)",
    "updateTime": "2016-08-28T17:52:44+0200",
    "position": {
      "lat": 5x.xxxxx,
      "lon": -y.yyyyy,
      "status": "OK"
    }
  }
}

Here's the problem - if the car is more than half a KM from home, when i get:

{
  "vehicleStatus": {
    "vin": "(my VIN)",
    "updateTime": "2016-08-28T17:52:44+0200",
    "position": {
      "status": "TOO_FAR_AWAY"
    }
  }
}

(not sure what the "updateTime" value is as that's clearly a long time ago).

You have to send the lat & lon parameters. However, cars build before 7/2014 (except i3/i8) will only show the location if your current location (aka your paramaters) are within 1km (see chapter 10).
