I sold my F Type Coupe in January to a Dealer.
Today I was idly checking my Jaguar Remote App and was surprised to see that I could sview the New Owner's Journeys and from them establish where he / she probably both lives and works.
I suppose too that should I go to the address I could start the car and drive away with no key but using the mobile app.
All very disturbing - so beware.

Presumably the new owner hasn't got it set up for themself. You shouldn't need to go to the address to start the car - it should work from anywhere, so long as the remote start requirements are met. Obviously you need to be there if you want to drive it away, but I'm not sure how it works if you unlock it remotely - I've had mine remote started and the engine stopped when I opened the boot (rest of the car was locked).
