The system has been working

I have had GuidePoint on my truck for 18 months now. It has always reported location when requested to do so through the app. The system has also tracked my wanderings thru several states and Canadian provinces in great detail.

I have not tried the Concierge service, probably should read how to do that.
I tested the vibration sensing accidentally by closing a door without turning VIP off. They called me and after going thru the identification process turned it off. Dont try it, its not a speedy process turning off the horn.

This gets me to what I consider to be a major flaw in the app/system. There is no indication in the app that VIP is on. There is no indication that the vehicle has actually received the command and that VIP has actually turned on.
The app indicates "Command Successful" but what does that mean? That the app and my iPhone sent out a command via the cell service to GuidePoint? Did GuidePoint get the command? Did my truck get the command? You can see an open loop here.

Maybe this feedback loop is well beyond the capabilities of the system. My concern is forgetting that the VIP is on and waking half the neighbors when I close a door or go over a bump. I want my iPhone to continually blink at me when VIP is on and the vehicle is armed.

Tracking and location determination have worked very well in my year and a half experience.

Update. 12-25-17 I have been using this iOS app and it has been tracking me everywhere. Shows my trips, parked locations, weekly summaries. Easy to use. Of course the app still operates within the scope and confines of the system in how it communicates on arming VIP as described above.
