location update not working (Canada)

[johnty]

Thanks for the library! All the examples seem to work (region: NCI/canada), except for the get-leaf-location example, which returns a error -5256: [MyCarFinder] API call error

Is this possibly due to the API not available in Canada? Also, just for curiosity's sake, do any other regions allow you to find the location of the vehicle?

Same for me in Germany. I figured out, it is because of the missing gdc_user_id. This is empty in my case:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Same for me in Ireland. I have a late 2015 Tekna, but I can't see what the gdc_user_id and password would be for?

Is there someone for whom this does work who could say whether gdc_user_id & password in their response matches the login userID and password, or are they something completely different, and if they are, where can we get them?

get-leaf-location.py for me, based in the UK using my fork of pycarwings2

POST /api_v181217_NE/gdc/UserLoginRequest.php

returns .... "gdcUserId":"","gdcPassword":"", ....
it does return "dcmId":"xxxxxxxxxx".
