TRACK YOUR CAR with Apple AirTags! The BEST Anti-Theft Solution!
I show you how to properly modify and track your car with Apple AirTags. Apple AirTags are wonderful tracking devices that can stick to anything to track. Tracking your car is another security measure, where you can track your car in the event of theft. In order to thwart these car thieves, you need to modify your AirTags so they cannot chime your AirTag, find it, and remove it from your car. I will show you step by step how to modify your AirTag to remove the speaker and install your Apple AirTag in your car!
Now in order to really thwart thieves, you will want to install the IGLA PIN CODE Security system on your car. This is a 100% theft proof security system, you can see my video on this here: • 100% THIEF PROOF Car S...

Question: is there away to specify the communication to your phone? 2 months ago I attached one to my trailer. I want to be notified when it leaves 2 different locations. Not that I left it behind.
@bigboyd9775 I don’t think so :(
@pt265 do you actually notice a difference in the car?
@pt265 okay I got to try it now. Thanks for this :)
For the car I would recommend to put two. If they find one they think they are sorted, and they are not!
I hedged. After having our RDX stolen and recovered, I put three trackers: an AirTag, a Eufy tracker and a Eufy wallet tracker.
Wouldn’t their iPhone still alert them to another AirTag nearby ?
Sometimes. The alert notification system isn’t so great.
Well, nothing beats a GPS… Then again, if thieves put your stolen car in a garage or a warehouse, then the GPS will not work. Therefore, a combination of devices, including Bluetooth trackers, should be part of your line of defence.
About whether or not Apple would alert the thieves to the presence of a Apple Airtag or Apple-compatible Airtag, such as Eufy’s Apple-look-a-like tracker or Eufy’s Wallet tracker, the answer is a definite “YES”. However, you need to disable the speaker on such tracker and hid them well. If you have more than one in your car, then it means that the thieve is going to have to go on an “Easter egg” hunt to find them. It’s just another layer of protection for you.
FYI: When u push it back in, make sure the three holes lined up with the pins otherwise the battery will not get contacts. Make sure the two side pins pop thru the holes.
If I’m not mistaken, it’s now possible to detect third-party AirTags with precise location through the U1 chip compatible with the new iPhones.
We do this and it works great. Use it in my golf clubs bag as well. Just remove the sounder.
Literally found my car the same day that was stolen in the morning! Great product!
How you can find the car when the AirTag lose signal once you’re far from your car !?
@@simodz6355 air tag sending signal all the time and it doesn’t need to be near you phone.
@@simodz6355 - The air tag communicates with other iPhones, through a secure channel.
@@simodz6355it picks up signal from nearby iphones. Guy said it in the video..
Using crowdsource tracking. Basically using other people's iPhones to track it and send you the location @simodz6355
I put mine in the old first aid kit, between the bandage packs that sits inside compartment in the trunk of my sedan. Pretty close to the outside but still inside. Updates the location regularly. But definitely need to de-chime it.
I put it as a fancy neckless for my large Pitbull dog always seating in the truck whenever I'm out with my truck...lol.
Phenomenal video! I bought a Range Rover in March and finally ordered my AirTag 3 days ago. It came in today, and I typed “AirTag Car” to have a sense of an idea of where to place it, and your video popped up!!! Super simple instructions… speaker came right out. THANK YOU!!!!!!
Awesome man! Glad the video is helpful and welcome to the channel. Not sure where you live, but definitely good that you were doing this because of the increasing auto theft and crime.
@@carswithsonduren I’m in Los Angeles, California. LOTS of crime here, hahaha. Thank you!!
It notifies the thief that they are being tracked and they can simply disable it. Sorry 🤷🏻♂️ Go google it they explain it pretty good. It sucks because I just learned this right after I put one in my car a couple of months ago.
I’d openn the car badge/emblem/logo and stick under there or at the coolest part in an engine
Just got an AirTag for my new car and this tutorial was so helpful!! I was able to do it with no issues thanks for showing the pins and how it was suppose to snap.
Awesome glad to hear it was helpful if you have any other questions let me know! Welcome to the channel 🙏
If the person who stole your car has an iPhone they will be notified of the fact that they are being tracked. Then they can disable it through their iPhone. It’s to keep people from being able to stalk someone with the AirTag. I bought one and put it in my car and as soon as my wife took off in it , she was warned that she was being tracked. It’s a totally useless device.
@@ellzfromhellz6728 yes we all already know this. literally anyone who owns an iphone and airtag knows this. maybe if you used logic or common sense you'd understand that people put them in cars without the speaker in a well hidden spot so that while the thief may be notified they still cant find it so they'll give up and run off.
Range is like 100 m
What is the maximum range to locate vehicle with tag??
The tip of a tweezer (one side only) also works, besides a miniature X-Acto knife.
I’m going to do this for my Focus RS, never thought about the speaker so, thanks! I do think that one should be able to disable the speaker via settings tho.
Tell that to people who have been stalked using AirTags.
I will definitely be doing this on my next Volvo after today!
Good security video! Thanks!
Great video. I had a friend who was coming back from California halling other vehicles on his trailer back here to Texas and he stopped in Arizona to rest an found a air tag on one of his vehicles from someone else who was following him. Criminals also uses them. Always use caution but great video though
Great lesson for everybody to read here that definitely criminals can use it to their advantage. Thanks for sharing your story and thanks for the compliments, welcome to the channel :)
My Ford F-150 was stolen last night. They disabled the onboard tracking system, but I had an Airtag hidden inside and was able to locate it for the police. I think the thieves discovered that there was an Airtag somewhere because they dumped my truck on a nearby street and left it. I did not know about the speaker removal and will be performing a bit of surgery on the Airtag, and probably hiding a second Airtag as soon as I get the truck back.
Wow, that’s awesome news man! Where are you located by the way?
Mine got stolen on dec 3rd, wouldn’t have it if not for the AirTag!!
@@carswithsonduren Toronto. Vehicle thefts here have hit an all time high this past year. I don’t think they discovered that there was an AirTag in it. I’ve talked with the police and they say it is standard procedure for the organized rings to drop it somewhere nearby on a low traffic street in case it does have another hidden tracker in it, then come back for it after a day or two, figuring if it is still there then it is safe for them to take it.
@@carswithsondurenthieves can see you are tracking them? How
That’s crazy you got signal. I just got one and it doesn’t track it at all if I’m not close.
You told me a lot that could help me. I fear i am being tagged and tracked. One thing led to another and i found some very helpful info thanks to you.
Hey question i have a mercedes benz 350 suv where you think i can put the air tag?
Another heads up is to make sure your key fob is protected at home, wrapped in aluminum foil or some sort of RFID blocking sleeve.
I don't understand why we need to protect the key fob at home. Can you explain a bit more please.
@@mmgortonct You wrap your key in foil to prevent the car thieves from reading the code off the key to start the car the Foyle blocks the RFID signal sent by the key. kzhead.info/sun/lbZxgtalfJuwiZ8/bejne.html

Holy moly, I put an Air Tag 2 months ago. Thanks about the tip about the speaker!!!
Get those out and you will be set :)
But it’s comMon sense surely
Wish I would have thought of this sooner!!!!
Thank you for this! Brilliant!!!
I purchased a little case with a screw top from Amazon. It is magnetic and sticks to my Audi cars metalwork. This keeps the AirTag clean and safe and looks like it belongs to the car
Hide a key
It will not function properly. When you disembark from the vehicle and attempt to locate it using the Find Nearby feature of the AirTag, it fails to do so due to the distance.
Thank you so much for your support and very useful information
Lately there are thieves scanning bluetooth from vehicles so they'll know if there's a laptop, phone, ipad, etc. inside. So I'm not sure but does the Airtag send out a BT signal as well?
Yep it’s crazy and yes it does.
Does the blue tooth signal tell the thief what the device is and the exact location? Or is it an Easter Egg hunt?
They also sell waterproof holders with 3M sticky backs now !
What if I only want to track the AirTag when the car is stolen ? How do I disable the function of notifications whenever someone else uses my car? Want to place the tag on bikes that I lease out.
even though you removed the speaker wont it still show up and give the thieves the rough location?
Great video! I wouldn't say it is a deterrent as much as it is an aid to find the tag. If the criminal is not aware of the tag, it can't be a deterrent. But the point is well made. Thanks for showing how to remove the speaker!!
Agreed with you thank you and welcome to the channel!
The most impressive part of your video is when I saw that you had a proper manual transmission, and a gated shifter at that, good for you. So much more engaging, involving and fun for the driver. I have a tip for everyone so you don't get your car stolen in the first place. I put a motion sensor from my home alarm system in the car, if someone ever breaks into my car, the home alarm will go off. Just picked it a 2019 manual ND2 Miata last week. Soooooo much fun to drive. SaveTheManuals.
Haha thanks my man :) welcome to the channel the R8 is my dream machine for sure
Love the miata. I used to own a 2002 NB
Cool thanks
As if that had anything to do with the video
I got one of these to catch my son going to places he wasn’t supposed to go. What a waste of effing and money! The guy in the video says “In case the thief opens his iPhone and discovers this device and makes it chime……”. 🙄 please give me a break. The AirTag all but tells a person that there’s an AirTag in their vehicle or it gives them the message that says that the AirTag is with them. My kid didn’t figure out that there was an AirTag around him… The stupid AirTag told him. Don’t buy an AirTag to spy on someone. Everybody has an iPhone these days. As soon as my son’s iPhone was in range of this thing, he got a notification that there was an AirTag near him. Even if you remove the chime it won’t help. Don’t waste your money. I bought a GPS device online on Amazon for $24.99. Not only was it a better GPS locator it also allowed me to hear any conversation going on in my son’s vehicle. What a waste of money. There’s a flaw with these. My son was able to figure out where it was and then he was able to disable it. Apple should be Ashamed of this shitty technology.
you are thorough !! Easy ro follow and listen. Thanx
Thank you and welcome to the channel!

Great video! Anyone have any idea how AirTags are affected by the inside heat of a parked car during the summer and also the freezing cold during the winter?
Heat so far so good I’ll soon test the cold in the winter.
I use one in my cars in thailand and have no issues.
We have freezing cold winters here in Cleveland Ohio. I keep two in my car and they survived the harsh winter with flying colors.
No issues so far on my side
Sir what app we need to down load to phone

What about the notification they get that an AirTag is moving with them? Once they know Wouldn’t they be able to use the arrow to find it ?
Yes,airtagss are designed for lost items not stolen items

QUESTION would this work on a semi truck and trailer? I’m thinking one for the tractor and one for the trailer… we own a small trucking company. Two years ago we had a trailer stolen. In the past we have had a couple instances where a driver would hide the truck from us. My son had suggested this recently to keep on our key fobs. My husband is in his 70’s and his memory issues are getting worse. He’s lost 2 sets of keys in 10 days. One set he put on top of my car and drove off. It’s a miracle our grandson found them on the side of the road over 2 miles away. What are your thoughts on using for these 2 applications? The trucks and trailers travel several states each week. Thanks so much!
Yes it would work!
This will work for tracking a bicycle specially, if it’s a carbon frame. Put it in the seat tube or somewhere in the frame.
Great video didn’t know GTA is that bad I guess I’ll avoid brining my Lexus around lol..but I’ll get this done nicely done and great tip Brother 🤙🏼
Yea dude it’s really bad here now. Anytime glad you found the video helpful more great content coming :)
@@carswithsonduren Thank you I just did same thing as you and placed it in my Lexus cover the vin number and few other things I won’t say here so in order for them to come and physically break in I’ll be watching at my door steps 🤣 But I get your point it’s bad not sure where is worst GTA or MTL 🤦♂️sad times for sure Stay safe and Thank You Brother this works any other tips I’ll apprecite it I did have my Club LX tho I know they can crush the lock but that requires some time
Ok, yes, I agree with comments concerning multiple ATs in a vehicle. Further, remove the speakers! Another excellent suggestion, I already employ! If possible, when hiding 2 ATs, place them in adjacent hidden areas. This should to confuse any wannabe car thief into thinking only one exists!!! Normally, they would open it and remove the battery and think they are in the clear.
You literally commented to remove the speaker… on a video that tells you to remove the speaker. It was half the video. ….?????
no sound but are the other phones have the ''find'' button?
You just explain everything so well
Thanks man glad you enjoyed the video :-)
I looked after my friend’s dog for three weeks whilst she was overseas. I attached an airtag to her collar. It survived being dragged through the water bowl and long grass. I always forget which way the battery cover turns.
Left, just like a screwdriver.
Great Info, apple should provide a sound mute option and not discoverable mode by other apple users mode in the software.
Yeh, that would make it much easier, to track and stalk people 😉 🙄
Hi, like your videos, have a question about the app you use as I use find me, not working too well. On the video see you use the car model how to do that, Thanks much
You can just rename the AirTag for your car :)
Great video !! Purchasing my AirTags now 👍🏼
Enjoy!
My friend in the UK had some stuff stolen and the air tag said exactly where it was. Greater Manchester Police refused to follow it up. Excuses given were a bit odd. Something about the object being moved to different locations. All of this relies on the authorities doing their jobs too.
Crazy dude :(
Essex Police same. Mate of mine had his car stolen and could see where it was on his iPhone, Police said they were short staffed and couldn't follow up. So he recovered the car himself. UK Police are a waste of space. If he'd called to report someone posting a racist comment on a forum, three Police cars would be at his house in a heartbeat.
Same in Surrey, my neighbours 2019 Toyota 4x4 stolen before midnight…they call the police and they came like 2-3 hours later….best part was when I was helping friend with a small sofa which he phoned the council and they told him to put it on the the side for their people to collect….one of the nossey neighbour call police as apparently were fly tipping just before midday…within half an hour 2 police car and a van turned up…even hear one of the police saying on the radio to cancel other police cars coming😂….told police who’s on the right mind would fly tipped during the day where people about😅
Great video. Simple and effective.
Thanks my man I hope you found it interesting and maybe do it yourself!
@@carswithsonduren I've had them for 2 years now man. I am still confused on how the thief would be alerted on his/her phone. You did explain it. But people that have ridden with me dont get notifications. So I am confused there.
It’s know that the notification often doesn’t pop up for unknown reasons.
@@carswithsonduren Ah I see. Makes sense then.
Please explain how my phone gets notified where my air tag is? Is it the thieves phone reporting the location via the cell phone network to apple? is this detection and reporting built in to apple IOS (what versions) and Android phones? I looked through the settings on my Iphone ios 16+ and there is nothing for Airtags. Or does in only work with phones that have an AirTag app installed? According to this vid, the thieves android or ios phones can show the thieves that there is an air tag nearby. What happens if the stolen item is put out of blue tooth range of any phone? Like in a barn on some farm way out of town and the perps know enough to not take their phones along while stealing. We all know phones are constantly tracked by the cell towers (they have to be so the network knows which tower to route calls/messages to you). Does the phone that detects the air tag get id'd and reported along with the location? That might be useful to police in identifying the perps.
Can I use the air tag with my android phone?
I'm also using AirTag in my car but there is one downside which you didn't mention... if thief is using Iphone after some time he will get notification that someones AT is following him ;) Of course... he might leave the car if this happens and actually this would best outcome.
True but even this notification is finicky and doesn’t come up consistently.
Just to clarify an AirTag is NOT an anti theft device. That would be something like a car alarm, steering lock or RFID case for your keys. If a potential thief doesn’t know an AirTag is inside your car it can’t deter them and so isn’t anti theft.
@@20yearsagotoday1 the point is to TRACK a theif that steals your car, so you may know where it winds up
What a Cool idea 😃Cheers from Oz 🇦🇺
Cheers from down under!
Sold! 😂 Definitely purchasing a couple of these now! 🤓 Thanks for the post!☺️🍺👊🏾
What’s the range though?
Much needed with all the crime happening
A cool feature would be that multiple phones can track a tag meaning let’s say you get robbed and they take your phone away, you can have a phone at home or someone else that’s connected to it, track it. That is assuming your phone gets stolen. I have a few things that can help reduce Car robbery -Modify the start up. There’s a secret trick I did so when I start my car up, you need to hold a certain button. Without this you can’t start the car. -modify the wheel lug nuts, make the two front wheel have different wheel lock than the back but make it the same color. -AirPod tag works great. -Steering wheel lock can work but it’s not the best method. It just slows thieves. -Tint the windows, this help hide visibility from the inside. (I have a skeleton figure and have it laying in the back.) so it looks like someone is sleeping there lol 😂 Standard even better ! Most importantly don’t risk your life over a car !!!!!!!!
Apple has done this w/ iOS 17. I'm on the beta and you can share AirTags.
Also you cant track the via the Find My app on any other apple device...
I thought you have to be in close proximity since it connects to Bluetooth so how would you be able to track it or see it moving live on a map
As long as it gets in range within 30 ft.
Jeez i removed the speaker as instructed but now it cannot find it or connect to my tag. Put the speaker back. Apple tag makes sounds but phone cannot connect to tag ugh
Majority of times thieves find these air tag and throw them out of the window. Also, AirTags don’t update live, they update every few minutes which can be sometimes up to 9 minutes.
Can't throw them out if they cannot find them!
OK buddy, tell us where you get your 'facts' from?
Seems like stupid people reject help anyways. Thanks for the tip with the speaker removal!!
@@luciussander8217 ever watch the news people talking about their cars being stolen even after they put an AirTag in it and bandits throwing out the AirTags ? Feel free to look that stuff up.
Awesome video! I actually took my Range Rover back after the crooks stole it from my house.... And funny enough Peel Regional Police did not even bother showing up to the scene for almost 1 hour and 30 mins after I told them that I found the car. So I just drove home and sold my car as I could no longer deal with it being stolen.
Oh wow! When did this happen? Insane what is happening in the GTA :(
Omg, you are so lucky! I lost my Lexus 2 months ago and the Peel Police weren't able to open the shipping container for me at CPKC Railway without a stupid warrant. Literally had to watch the whole GPS tracking journey from my Airtag and now it's in Turkey lol
@kelvinliu9580 that’s insane which Lexus was it?!
@@carswithsonduren Lexus Rx 350 2021. These criminals have a whole route plan in the GTA. Saw the GPS location tracking move from the Scarborough warehouse to the Mississauga sketchy warehouse then ultimately Vaughn railway all within 5 hours from the time it was stolen at a grocery store parking lot in Scarborough. I hid my AirTag in the truck inside the User manual book.
@kelvinliu9580 that is insane. Was the police helpful at all?
Are there locations in the vehicle to avoid hiding the tag because it may hinder its performance?
The higher it is and away from center of mass the better.
I’ve been doing this for years and I’m loving it.
Airtags are great for so many things but when it comes to cars IMHO the Tile Pro or Jiobit is a better option. If the thief is on Android the Airtag will never track it once it leaves the last location, until it is near another Airtag. Best Wishes
Needs to be in bluetooth range to an iPhone, not an AirTag.
Just get both lol
If you're going to take this apart with a razor knife, put the tag on the table and pry away from your other hand. The way he did it will result in stabbing your opposite hand.
I’ve got an AirTag in my truck, boat, wallet and quad. Never thought to remove the speaker thank you!
How does it notify you where the tag / car is located?
It's actually all Apple devices in the world (so, from Watch to Macbook and everything in between) that are detecting the airtag when it is nearby and then the device itself is broadcasting the location, not your airtag!
I believe this is a good idea for stolen 'large' items that are normally 'out in the open and on display' and are easy to spot, ie car etc. (as long as the car doesn't go under a respray and plate change!). Also, shame you can't put this in your luggage if and when it gets lost (or solen!). But that would cause havoc trying to get through airport security.
You can put it in your luggage...carry on or checked.
Thanks for your comment. So just to clarify, 2 questions: So, when you went through security did 'you' bring it to securitys attention that it was in your luggage? Or was it them/scanner that found it and let you through? Just that a friend was told to remove theirs from their hand luggage . @@mmgortonct

Hi from GA.Thank you for Video.
Hi. I just came across your video. My wife and I got some Airtags to put on our cars on the advice of some friends of ours. However, I do have one question that I hope you can clarify for me. While I have heard from people saying Airtags are a good way to track your car, I have also seen that they use short-range Bluetooth to communicate with your phone. If this is the case, then how can I use an Airtag to track my care, if, say, it were stolen? It wouldn't be near my phone to use Bluetooth. Thanks for any explanation...And I apologize if I am missing something obvious here.
You’ll be able to track it anywhere in the world through the Find My application on your iPhone!
@@carswithsonduren Got it. Thanks!
You can only track it, if it is near an iPhone. Anyones I phone. If it were in the middle of a desert, you wouldn't know where it was. All you will get is the last location where it was near an iPhone. Any iPhone.
I'm in Hamilton, looking for something for my mountain bike. The airtag is a great idea, but, looks pretty big to hide on a bike.
Honestly, it’s not big at all. I’m positive you could fit it somewhere on your mountain bike? Maybe under the seat? There must be somewhere!
@@carswithsonduren I'm going to look into it, Thank You!
@@cosmickid1794 Inside the handle bar, inside the rubber grip. one idea.
@@gorambo I have these tiny saddle bags, may put it in there and put black tape over it. It would be nice if it came in black, but your idea is good too
Motion detected Bike alarms are also great, for extra security
The problem with air tags is that a person is notified that one is close to them so they can find and disable it. Even if your put several of them on a car the thief will be notified they are there. You need a tracking device that doesn't broadcast to everyone and everything around it. There are much better options for tracking your car.
what if you hide it some where in and under the car? he neet to search for hours... hahaha
What are the better options? I thought other ones I would have had to pay a subscription. If I was going to steal a car I would probably look for airtags before I started the theft.

@@nlluke5207you can hide it but someone put one in my car before a girl and your iPhone notifies you shows you how far and how long it’s been following you on a map and it gives you an option to play the speaker so you find it and also gives you the option to disable it instantly from your iphone even if it don’t belong to you it will work for a while however once they get that notification they can instantly disable it
They may be able to detect it, but finding the air tag is another thing. I have one in my car, no way could anyone find it.
Thank you Sir :)
thanks for this very helpful video. i've subscribed and given a thumbs up. i would like to pass on some constructive criticism on your presentation. one thing that really bugs me in a lot of videos is the phrase "Hi guys, what's up". we are not seeing you live so i have no way of telling you what's up. another thing is the number of times you used the words "i'm gonna go ahead and.......". i lost track of the number of times you used this phrase. it's sort of like people who constantly use the words "you know" after every few words in a conversation. anyway, keep up the good work and i look forward to future videos.
Thanks man I really appreciate the kind words and the feedback! I’ll keep that in mind in the future, the truth is when I don’t exactly have a script, I usually use those filler words in between as I think. I can definitely do better and I’ll keep this in mind :) glad the video was still helpful though, and welcome to the channel!
I use two AirTags. One as a dummy in a not so difficult to find location to throw the crooks off.
Smart idea man!
Can the speaker be put back after a while if needed?
Yes, it can be
Will this work with an apple iPAD ?
For those who don’t know. It still has sounds when you play it but with super low volume. I think it comes from the board speaker itself. So the magnetic speaker just boosts its sound.
I just removed the speaker and pushed the play sound and absolutely NO sound could be heard.
Same here. Can’t hear anything.
Good question I haven’t tried it. I assume it will work again.
Same for me, it still sound after removal but very low level.
no need to spew the word "super" but with low volume.... better!
Doesn't apple airtag notify another iPhone user if an unknown tag is traveling with them? What if the thieves have an iPhone too?
That’s why you remove the speaker. They may get notified that they are being tracked, but without a speaker, they will have no idea where it’s at. I see it as an advantage too. If they are notified that they are being tracked, they will more than likely dump the vehicle. However, many people have tested out the tracking notification and more often than not, they are never notified.
What Bruce said is exactly correct! More often than not they are not even notified and they will have to proactively check.
@@bruceskousen5451 So just to clarify this, if I place an AirTag without speakers inside the car, the tag WOULD NOT pop-up a message on their iPhone that there is an AirTag accompanying/following them?
@@kuruption1983 no, it could still notify someone in the car with a pop-up message. However, the person would never be able to get the AirTag to emit a sound because the speaker has been removed, making it nearly impossible to locate it in the car. The thief would already be paranoid and now that he/she has been notified of being tracked, they would abandon the car immediately for fear of being caught.
@@bruceskousen5451This will not work as now other people can locate the AirTags with precise finding
what software were you using that showed the distance in meters and direction like that? Haven't found that feature in the FindMy app
It’s there once you have the AirTag.
@@carswithsonduren It's not appeared buddy- just appeared in items and not devices. No options I can see to open up that tracker app.
@@garethw1228 You need certain models of iPhone. Some lower price models won't show all info.
@@garethw1228 @carswithsonduren Same annoying problem. I called Apple. After a LONNNNNG phone call, their rep said that to get the high quality location services, one needs "Ultra WideBand" devices. These occur with iPhones 11 and up, not iPhone SEs, and not iPads. I was very frustrated in trying to copy the result of some of these AirTag demos given I can only roughly map/trace where my AirTag is using Find My.
@@101mobilityhoustonMaybe it’s time to upgrade your phone. FJB 🖕🇨🇳
is there a battery in the airtag? do you have to periodically charge it? also doesn't iphone notify users that there is a tracker nearby for safety reasons? won't the thief be notified that there is an airtag in the vicinity?
It needs to have the battery changed every year. It does notify users for safety reasons but if seldom works.
A new theft trend is to scan for a bluetooth signal around cars. If one is detected, the thief will break a window looking for a laptop hidden in the trunk or elsewhere in the car, so this may happen if you use AirTags as a tracking device.
That’s strange. If you’re looking for a laptop, computer or iPad, then you can use a lithium detector. There is no need to use a Bluetooth detector (which are not very good, BTW) to detect the presence of an AirTag which would not tell you a whole lot, except that there is an AirTag in the car… I have three AirTag-like devices in my own car, and no computer.
May I know 3 of like airtag in your car. TIA@@jean-marcfiliatrault266
My car says unknown AirTag wit you and unable to play sound so since you showed people how to remove speakers I can’t find it. 👎🏼 this is scary
Won't the thieve's phone still warn them that there is an air tag nearby that is not theirs? And cause them to look for it?
if he has a iphone, he'll get an Airtag warning. He can make it make a sound to find it.
Solid video! Thanks for the helpful video!!
Unless apple just makes a simple update where you need a passcode to locate the AirTag…..dammit. 😆
It needs to connect to other phones to work
Too bad that this became useless the moment Apple did two things: Find any tags in close range with the standard 'find my' app. And you can even activate a setting making an immediate warning on your phone that an airtag is tracking you. It can still be handy because it will take a load of time before they find it in your vehicle.. makes it less attractive to steal.
That’s true but still handy regardless!
THANK YOU!! I didn't know that my phone has this capability. I fear that I am being tracked by an abusive ex. I went to settings and found what you were talking about. THANK YOU!!
it's also useless if you get carjacked.
Which apps must download in the iPhone
That is good 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I use two AirTags on my car. One where the thieves can find it and give them a false sense of security and the other in a very very hidden place where'd they never think to look.
what if they carjack you? how is that airtag going to be helpful?
you ok bro? If they carjack you, you can still track them and relay information to the cops. @@tomzphone
@@tomzphoneyou go get your gun and go get your car back . Simple .
if the carjack you, they are also going to take your Iphone. Without that Iphone you can't track your air tags anymore. You can't do it via a website, only your iphone.@@noahcarter1056
Apple allows the other person that finds it to use precision finding to locate the AirTag
Great video but I have one question! Do iPhones that pick up the air tags signal if stolen need to have their Bluetooth on or will it pick up the air tags signal without the Bluetooth on?
same question and what if they dont have internet at the moment
If I was to put one in my sons school bag will it make any noises during lessons? Or when I track it?
Nope if you do this method.
If I understand it correctly, AirTags have an anti-stalking measures that will warn you if you unintentionally come into possession of a new tag, but a similarly great way to warn a thief that the car they just stole is being tracked, but it won’t notify them right away. It will only notify them once they reach what is their “home.” This location of “home” is determined by their Address Book. Hopefully the thief will not take it to their home but drop it off at a designated location where it can be tracked.
I would not want to bet a 150k car on a hopeful scenario, which they already know about it, very likely.
Question: does the thief bluetooth have to be on for it to detect that an Airtag is following them?
I think yes. @@joshdax2
@@joshdax2 yes - so if your stealing cars turn off bluetooth -
@@SNieX0it will still ping off other people’s phones.
Removing the speaker doesn’t really accomplish a whole lot when your phone shows a great big arrow pointing to where the AirTag is.
The precision location only works for the owner of the AirTag FYI. Not for the crook or someone else looking for it.
@@carswithsonduren good to know, thanks
@@carswithsondurenWrong!!!! If the thief has an iPhone then they will be notified on their phone that they are being tracked. Then all they have to do is disable it. I have one and put it in my car. Then my wife drove to work with it and it popped up on her screen. A simple google will validate what I’m saying. I’m super bummed about this because I wasted $30. It’s still hidden in my car. I can only hope that if it gets stolen that the loser doesn’t have any iOS devices. It pops up on all of their products.
@@carswithsondurenthey could take your car and phone. This only work when you park your car and you are not around.
Absolutely true
When the thief get noticed he being tracked he can use the nearby and find the tag right?
Do i understand this correctly . After you re hack the thief can not find the air tag by sound anymore . But he can still see that there is an air tag by "find " and can see how far the air tag is away ? Looking at you re video at 5:32 .From what I understood I can locate an air tag by sound and by find which tells me how far away it is . And apparently the thif can use "sound " and "find. " too to find it ??? Or can a thif only use the sound option to find the air tag of the car owner ? And not the find option ?
It’s too bad apple doesn’t provide you an option to disable the speaker to spare the surgery.
Imagine the stalkers using it. That’s be insane though. Double edged on this one.
Or buy a Hyundai and get one as standard! ☺️
