Just been doing some more testing, and the car location has reappeared. I've tried sending a location from Goggle Local Search, I've also send from my desktop PC.

Does the car need to 'wake up' with an initial request?

I'll check the X3 when it stops throwing it down with rain

SFAX- do you get the option for sounding the horn. Option does not appear on my app (android or iphone). Is this set on a per country basis?
It does have to wake up, yes. Takes about 1 min to wake up. If you stand by the car, you can hear a little tick as it starts to boot up. If you send a command soon after locking, it's still awake and it will respond quickly in about 20-30 seconds.

I used to get the sound horn option but they cruelly took it away . Not sure why.
