Lot Management 1.61.0

๐Ÿ“„ Contracts Print With Trademark Symbols in the Name

A ยฎ or similar symbol in a make, model, or trim could stop a contract printing altogether. Those symbols are cleaned up when the vehicle is created, and the forms will not accept them going in, so the paperwork comes out the first time you ask for it.

โœ… Improvements

  • VIN decoding fallback โ€” NHTSA vPIC API added as an automatic fallback when ClearVIN fails or times out on a 500

โ€

๐Ÿ› Fixed

  • Timestamps on position history are readable again on the map, rather than squashed into a minimized pop-up
  • Selecting and deselecting rows in tables works properly, including the button that clears the whole selection โ€” and you can now pin a column to the left or right so it stays put while you scroll across

Lot Management 1.60.0

May 11, 2026

Coming Soon!

๐Ÿš— Add a Vehicle Even When the VIN Lookup Is Down

Creating a vehicle leaned on an outside service to read the VIN for you. When that service had problems you were stuck โ€” and the message on screen said a VIN was required even though you had just typed one in.

  • If the lookup cannot be reached, you can carry on and enter the vehicle details yourself instead of waiting for it to come back
  • The message now tells you whether the VIN is actually missing or the lookup simply could not read it, so you know which problem you are solving

๐Ÿ“ Fewer Gaps in Where Your Vehicles Are

Some locators could quietly stop reporting their position for a stretch, which left holes in the map and in a vehicle's history. They report reliably again, so what you see should match where things actually are.

๐Ÿ› Fixed

  • The Tag ID fills itself in when you unpair a tag from a key, instead of making you type it out for a tag that is already paired
  • The button reads Unpair when you are removing a key, rather than still saying Pair
  • Product offering names read the same whether the offering was set up for you or you created it yourself โ€” each one carries the location and the term length

Lot Management 1.59.0

February 17, 2026

Coming Soon!

๐Ÿงพ Re-Contracted Sales Stay Complete

When you change something on a sale that already exists โ€” a customer's email address, the products sold โ€” your system voids the original and writes a new one right behind it. If those two arrived close enough together, RecovR could handle them in the wrong order and leave you looking at a Voided sale where a completed one should have been.

  • Re-contracting now lands as a completed sale every time, whether you use Darwin's Re-Contract button or void and recreate the sale yourself
  • Sales that go through the portal and sales that come in through PEN both behave the same way, so you are not checking one against the other

๐Ÿ› Fixed

  • A Tag Only sale no longer shows an error in the Vehicle Warranty ID field when there was no warranty on the sale to begin with โ€” the field stays clean instead of flagging a problem that was not there
  • Trying to pair with a locator or vehicle that belongs to a sibling location now gives you the right message, so you can tell what actually went wrong rather than guessing
  • Keys term length now reads in years, matching how term length appears everywhere else on a sale

Lot Management 1.57.0

October 21, 2025

Coming Soon!

๐Ÿ• Contracts Show the Day You Actually Made the Sale

If you sold a car late in the afternoon and then downloaded the contract, the date on it could read as the next day. That hit West Coast dealers hardest โ€” anything after 5pm local time came out dated tomorrow. Contract downloads now use your dealership's local time, so the paperwork matches the day you remember.

๐Ÿ“„ Warranty and Term Are Easier to Tell Apart on a Sale

Term length and warranty coverage were tangled together in a way that made a sale record harder to read than it needed to be. Two new fields separate them out.

  • Vehicle Limited Warranty and Keys Limited Warranty each read Yes or No, so you can see at a glance what a sale actually covers
  • Both are set to Yes when the product on the sale is configured for a Tripac warranty, so the answer comes from the product rather than from someone remembering to tick a box

๐Ÿ› Fixed

  • Vehicles with a paired locator no longer pick up a Suspected Off Lot alert they should never have had. That alert is meant for unpaired locators only, and it was turning up sporadically on paired ones โ€” so the alerts on your lot are ones worth chasing again
  • The sales flow now greys out Next when the same tag ID is entered twice, so you catch the duplicate while you are entering it rather than wondering why the sale will not go through

Dealer App 1.0.54

June 10, 2026

๐Ÿ—บ๏ธ Your Zones Are Back on the Map

Zones had stopped drawing in Map View, which left you with no way to see at a glance where anything actually sat on your lot. They show up again for Vehicles, Keys, Tags, and Locators.

โšก Position History That Loads Quickly and Stays Up

Looking back at where a vehicle has been should be fast, and on an iPhone it should not take the app down with it. Both are better in this patch.

  • History covering less than a month now takes the quick route rather than the one built for long-range lookups, so recent history comes back faster

๐Ÿ› Fixed

  • The date and time range filter shows again on the vehicle map, so you can narrow history down to the window you care about
  • On Android, the Mute and Unmute button is no longer hidden behind your phone's navigation bar while a tag is ringing โ€” the app now leaves room for it

Dealer App 1.0.53

May 19, 2026

๐Ÿ”” Ring a Tag or Key From Your Phone

Tracking down a misplaced key used to mean walking the lot and hoping to hear it. Tap Find Tag or Find Key on an asset and a new screen rings it straight from your phone, with a map showing where you are standing and where the tag was last seen.

  • The screen moves through Press Play, Connecting, and Ringing, so you always know whether it has reached the tag yet
  • Pause stops the sound whenever you want, and Mute silences it while the lights keep flashing, so you can keep hunting quietly in a showroom

๐Ÿ’ฌ Get Help Without Leaving the App

A new RecovR tab sits in the bottom navigation bar. It is a direct line to the support team and to the help articles, so a question about a locator no longer means switching to email and describing your setup from scratch.

  • Message support and see your whole conversation history in one place
  • Push notifications tell you when support replies, and tapping one drops you back into the conversation
  • Search the help articles and tutorials without leaving the app

๐Ÿ”‘ Clearer Errors When a Tag Will Not Pair

Pairing used to fail without telling you why. The app now gives the same reasons the web interface does, so you know whether to grab a different tag or just wait.

  • Low Battery appears for any tag under 50 percent, so you find out before the tag goes in the car
  • Tag Not in Range appears when a tag has not checked in for more than ten minutes

๐Ÿ› Fixed

  • On Android, tapping the hotline number now opens your dialer instead of doing nothing

Consumer App

Consumer App 1.73.0

August 11, 2026

๐Ÿ—บ๏ธ Look Back Further Than Yesterday in Position History

Checking where your vehicle has been over the past month used to come up empty. If you asked for a longer stretch of history, the app would tell you there was no data at all for the last 30 days โ€” even when there was plenty. That range now loads the way you expect

๐Ÿ”” Movement Alerts Turn On When You Ask Them To

If you have ever tried to turn on alerts for your vehicle and been told the locator was already locked when you had not locked anything, that is fixed.

๐ŸŽจ A New App Icon

RecovR has a new icon on your home screen โ€” cleaner and flatter, without the old gradient. Nothing about how you use the app has changed; it is just easier to spot.

๐Ÿ› Fixed

  • In-app surveys can be closed again on Pixel A series phones, so a survey no longer stays stuck on your screen
  • Stopping the ring with the button on your tag now updates the app, so the screen goes back to Play instead of looking like the tag is still ringing
