    They need it for 2 things I believe.

    1. They show a map where vehivle last parked compared to you.
    2. They could use it for their proprietary phone as key feature that doesn’t work and is unreliable compared to using UWB.
    3. Gonna add this one since its totally the reason, sell your data. They store the car data, why not get the phones location data so you can get them all the time!

        I haven’t deved android since before all of the permission overhauls but I believe aprpximate would suffice for those cases, and I don’t think they are actually needed. Luckily with a little bit of work and someones open source project I was able to get a home assistant integration to use their API and give them 0 of those permission requests.
