Simple answer: aCar has some background services for notifying you about coming or over due services, for automatic backups and for some further tasks. And applications with such background services can not be executed from SD-Card. Technical answer: Applications which have been moved to SD-Card do not receive the ACTION_EXTERNAL_APPLICATIONS_AVAILABLE broadcast when the SD-Card is unmounted from computer. The end result is that aCar (while has been moved to SD-Card) can not resume its background services when you mount your phone SD-Card on your computer and unmount it again.
