Can You Track Your CAR with AirTag!?

Ғылым және технология

One of the most common questions I've been asked regarding Apple AirTags is whether or not you can track your car or truck with them. While it is totally possible, there are a lot of caveats you should be aware of.

    2 things to note: 1) My understanding is in lost mode, airtags ping every 15 minutes to conserve battery. So there’s a limit to how quick it can be found, regardless of how populated the area is. 2) My understanding is that one common tactic when a car is stolen, is that the thief may park the stolen car somewhere for a day or two, to make sure the car isn’t “hot”. And in those cases, an airtag could possibly help. Also, good video :)

    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.

    I would say that if someone stole your car and you hid your airtag well enough, they would have no idea where to look for it! Also as they are driving down the road, they will pass someone who had an iphone so depending on the range of other iphones connecting to it, just as long as you are in a populated area then it would work great as an anti theft device!

I put one in my back pack, one in my wife’s purse , one in my truck hidden under the center console carpet (you know , just in case anyone ever stole my truck 😅) I figured why not? Fast fwd 2 months …. Woke up one morning my truck was gone. Tracked this guy who stole it!! Only down side was I was about 10 min behind him , hauling ass around town to all the “pings” where locations were last seen, finally…. After 4 hours he was not moving for about 10 min . Found him at his house!! My truck was parked behind his home in a dirt alley way ! had already filed a police report prior, called police and got my truck back! To me , it’s SO worth having in your vehicle. hide it good. It worked! I have had this truck for 11 years. 2004 LLY duramax. My baby, was home.

    I don’t think an iPhone needs to be on 14.5 for a passerby to send the location of the airtag to the find my network. Yes 14.5 is required to use the airtag with the find my app and set it up. I have an airtag in my car and it’s also not necessary to put it in lost mode as it still will update the location when an iPhone comes in range and you can enable notifications when it’s not in lost mode but you have to enable notifications again after you get a notification. I park my car on the street in my neighborhood and it’s nice to know where my car is if I forget which street I park it on. I do have a garage but the garage is closed for several months for repairs so I mainly will use it for remembering where I parked. It updates really like every 5 to 10 min After midnight not as much.

I just got my truck stolen last week, and I’m looking for options that could give me/police leads of where to go look. It sounds like a good option even if it is not 100% a GPS tracker

    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.

We 'lost' our car once, tough we parked in a 3rd floor in the parking lot but it was in the 4th. We already toght that it was stolen it took us 20 minutes to think about using find my app and well we found our car. Also our golden retriever decided to take an adventure and escaped from the back yard something she has done a few times in the past. Instead of driving for a couple hours looking for her we just used the app.

    I’ve got mixed feelings on using it for theft security if a thief gets notified they’re being tracked. They may choose to ditch the vehicle instead of risking looking for the AirTag and getting caught whilst they do. An MO of professional thieves is to scan the vehicle for GPS or Bluetooth signals first and then plan where they take the vehicle to to search it for ten mins. With traditional hardwired tracker units there’s a limited number of places to conceal them and can easily be found by the professional thief. But then again some vehicle fleets advertise that the vehicle is tracked with a sticker on the vehicle to deter the opportunist thief so alerting the thief of the AirTag may be no bad thing if it panics them into ditching it. And some thieves may decide not to carry iPhones so they don’t transmit the AirTags position, in which case they won’t get alerted of the AirTag unless there’s an app to detect AirTags that android users could use ? I’d rather have one (or two) strategically hidden than have none at all.

    LoJack went out of business. This is exactly why I got air tags- to track my car Incase of theft. Watched a video where a guy was able to track his bike from Amsterdam to Germany, and also putting it in a package halfway around the world. He could find them no problem because so many people have iPhones . Watched another video comparing air tags- to Tile and the Samsung Android version ( forgot the name). Air tags- took 10 minutes to find his car, whereas the others took 40. I actually have an Android but am using the air tags-.

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.

    @@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. 🤷🏻‍♀️
