Can you please make a video on your experience?

Thank you for sharing. I bought three just now for my wife and I and I’m glad it works for the purpose I bought them.

Can it track it as it’s moving? Cuz it doesn’t seem to be able to do that it looks like it only updates every 10 mins maybe ?

For something as expensive as a car, you should probably hide an entire 3-or-4-pack of AirTags/SmartTags in various places.

My new car wont come with connected services so I am def. doing this with an airtag LOL.

Good point, I feel like putting it in lost mode may help the thief as if they have an iPhone it should tell them there is a list airtag around (per my understanding)

@@coconutattackardvark carefully open it and remove the speaker on the AirTag so a thief won’t hear it when it ping’s

Yes u do

Can others find out ? There is one there that n car ping noise on there phones ?

Lmfaoo

lmao damn

You really think a crack head will have the latest iPhone lol

Bro fr

Those get stolen to

also the airtag updates its location about every 10 minutes

@@TVCHLORD It actually varies the update time.

Agreed, he doesn't understand them.

@@TVCHLORD Cool, also when in Find Mode, tap device name in the upper left 5X to access a secret menu.

How fast can i bypassing iphone send the airtag location? If a jogger haves a iphone , and he runt rather to fast for the bleutooth to connect,,,

just happened to me last night. got my car back a couple hours ago. worked wonders. guy is free tho cuz police are bastards.

@@yeshuayeeyee7430 how’d you get your car back?

@@JoeyDNetsfan I tracked it the next day and used the police to help me go get it then claimed it with insurance. Police wont do shit tho...

@@yeshuayeeyee7430 Sorry this happened to you; are you in Portland, OR? That is the police M.O. here :(. Glad you got your car back, though!

@@kittychi999 YES

Yes, I’m in the same boat, it’s not in loss mode and on a residential street I’m getting a location every 10 minutes

That’s is really helpful. Thank you for this insight.

why are you- actually nvm

@Ebenye Eunice got your car back in a few minutes, he must know some kind of hocus-pocus wizardry

@@Legacy9751 he’s probably on vacation 😂

Especially for me since I live in a city where 30 cars are stolen everyday. Thankfully mine hasn't been stolen. Had a cat converter stolen from my truck months ago. But oh well.

@@WAncouvOR must be houston lol

@@WAncouvOR didn’t work for me. They broke into my car and stole my airtag because it notified the person in my car where it was at…

@@Jjjjjjj750 Really? Didn't know this "feature" existed yet. That's good to know. I need to do more research. But I desperately need to install alarm, kill switch, and cat bars to protect my car. Where I live, it's not about a matter of if. But when. :(

@@Jjjjjjj750 I know AirTags notifie someone if they seem to be followed. Probably the system understood that the person in your car was being stalked. Did you activate the “lost mode” for the AirTag?

I live in a highly populated area and with plenty for iPhones, and it works great. I get updates on the location fed from other phones that pass it by all the time. It's awesome! highly recommend

@@armandogallardoj what lol

The downside of this is that your Air Tag will alert the Thiefs iPhone that there is an AirTag in the car with them. As its not the Thiefs AirTag his phone would get a ping saying something along the lines of "Non-user owned AirTag is in your close proximity" etc. It's a security feature to help people know if they are being stalked unsuspectingly.

@@alw1915 that’s not a downside. As long as you hide the air tag. They shouldn’t be in your car. Maybe that alert will make them ditch the car. That’s a plus.

You should at least test it every now & then to know if the battery is dead or not.

That’s police for you. Useless at recovering stolen stuff. You’re better off retrieving your stolen goods yourself, but if that’s something you really want to do, your best bet is to bring a gun.

Yup and also works when your phone disconnected from the cars Bluetooth

Yup works great for that! If your car happens to be towed or stolen, however then the AirTag comes into play.

You don't need car play for that. Google phones have been doing parking tracking for that last 5 years or so. Google phones use AI to detect when you're driving, and when you stop, they will pin your location on Google maps for when you stopped driving. That means you can drive a car 50 years old and still have park tracking.

Correct. No idea how he can be so wrong.

@@petermount4752 I was just going to comment about a new channel that tracks parcels 📦

Damn bro glad u got it back that’s why I bought one today just in case this happens lol

You buy one and test it out then

Right.. “ it doesn’t work out of Bluetooth range” BUT … “it might if “… i got lost in all the other stuff he was saying .

They are really good tbh i liked them even as a Keychain

or, you could put several warning sticker on your car, saying "There are SEVERAL airtags in this car and they are all Well hidden, Good luck finding All of them in time."

Technology making it hard to be a car thief. Also, I love the term “professional thief.” If that’s not the most potent oxymoron, I don’t know what is. 🤣

How accurate is tracking your car while it’s driving?

If they can find it ?

I think you can disable it remotely. You dont have to perse find it and take the battery out.

"Find My" is a lot older than iOS 14 so the mesh network should work on even more devices.

Not in a multi level parking structure.

Not in an old unique car

No it’s does it regardless if you mark it as lost or not.

Do the airtags make noise when Not in range For a Long Time?

ou colocar um bloqueador de sinal

Doesn’t matter. All someone has to do is walk by the building and that’s enough to pick up a signal.

My guess is the thief will definitely have one, so he gets the alert he’s carrying an unpaired tag with him so he finds it and gets rid of it, or the car.

This comment needs to go up top! I do appreciate that the anti-stalking feature exists. Without it, this widely accessible technology would've enabled a whole lot of privacy issues for millions of people around the globe. However, I can imagine someone stealing my car actually dropping it after such alert, rather than taking the time to try finding it. So, I'd say that the anti-theft use case for the airtags still stands.

So does this mean that if my car is elsewhere for some weeks, that after three days the airtag constantly will make noise till the battery drains?

@@drinkin_park Agreed. Finally someone with some common sense. If you can’t outsmart/think a common criminal, you’ve got bigger problems IMO. A life of crime is WAY more work than an honest living. The only thing that makes them smarter is the fact that they generally don’t pay taxes nor vote in stupid politicians. 🤣 Smart criminals are not jacking cars to commit crimes. Smart criminals run large corporations or countries. And even they’re usually dumb enough to think they’ll never get caught/exposed.

@@iamColaboy Yeah, you might want to think about another anti-theft device or two if parking it for long periods. No different than if you park your car at the airport or at a friend’s place, alarm gets set off…it’ll keep going off until the battery dies or someone takes a bat to it. AirTags are meant for everyday use and to be “at hand.” As are car alarms. They can only do so much as the user is willing/able to do. Hence why the average person completely ignores a car alarm these days, unless it’s not stopping. Most of the time they are set off by the user or something environmental (loud car passing by). Criminals don’t tend to go around setting them off on purpose. That would make them a pretty bad criminal. The point of them has become moot, especially if the user is not around to be alerted by it. AirTags are actually great in that way. Many people have iPhones, making the network really large. But they are not a “set it and forget it” solution. Also have to forget about/be okay with the fact that we’re always being tracked. Everything has it’s pros/cons. 🤷🏻‍♀️

You can take the microphones out of them so the sound does not go off there is a UKposts vid on that 😉

Yeah he’s a bit of a virgin

If that had been the case I wouldn't have said anything. But he's been posting product reviews for 7 years, and has over a half million followers - you expect more

Your a doush bag

Thanks, I’ll get one

@@mca2642 ut is even automatic if you have phone connected to the Bluetooth audio system in the car.

Mine won’t track unless it is in lost mode

Because they are never going to reveal how much data on us they actually collect. You think for a second that they don’t know the users connecting to each device, even AirTags? Just because that info isn’t user-facing, doesn’t mean it’s not Apple-facing. It may not include actual names without further information/data/security clearances, but it most certainly would tell them/track the device’s serial no, etc. Pay close attention to what he’s saying in this video…the AirTag only works within Bluetooth range but can possibly find a location via other iPhones. That means that iPhones are always pinging GPS locations whether the users want them to or not, with or without consent/knowledge. (The consent is always in the fine-print of the software updates that no one ever reads.) Even if the device is off/dead. Yep, even the battery has “died.” This is nothing new. It’s always been a huge controversy with Apple, hence the term iHostage. It’s the price we pay to be so connected. It’s the worst kept “secret” that our location/identity isn’t always known one way or another. Hence why criminals use burner phones. People who track their exes to murder them are beyond stupid to use a tracking device to do so. (If it’s tracking her location, it’s also tracking his.) If he’s decided to murder her (which she probably has some idea about since he’s an ex for a reason since he’s probably made the threat many times already), he’s probably going to be successful regardless of the method he uses to track her down, if he’s going to the trouble of hiding a tracking device. Someone like this probably doesn’t give two shits about getting caught or doesn’t think they will get caught. That level of arrogance pretty much ensures they’ll get caught, unless they are some criminal mastermind or the area has a completely corrupt/inept police force. Nothing is going to stop it if he’s hell bent on doing it short of her getting to him first. He’s not going to care/think about “I might be getting tracked by Apple.” While perhaps a deterrent, someone determined enough will just find another way. People watch way too many true crime shows and clearly not enough time getting to know the people (and the friends/family) that they are dating. People who would use tracking devices to find and murder an ex probably come across as having other rather alarming issues from the start. Perhaps we should worry more about spotting/figuring that out with the person we’re sharing a bed with than what the smart people of Apple are or aren’t doing. 🙄
