'Get Receiver Vehicle Position in BSM

How do I configure Veins to get the receiving vehicle's position (x and y) in a BSM message? I am using this configuration of veins: https://github.com/josephkamel/veins-f2md.

When a vehicle receives a BSM, you can read the position of the current vehicle by using the mobility module:

mobility->getPositionAt(simTime()).x
mobility->getPositionAt(simTime()).y
mobility->getPositionAt(simTime()).z

It makes little sense to encode the receiver position in the message itself -- you are sending a broadcast. Apart from that, there are other reasons against the proposed procedure.

You could furthermore get the position from the Signal of a message.

signal.getReceiverPoa().pos.getPositionAt(simTime()).x
signal.getReceiverPoa().pos.getPositionAt(simTime()).y
signal.getReceiverPoa().pos.getPositionAt(simTime()).z
