Basically I'm looking for something that'll help if my car happens to get stolen. Ideally it'd be something I can just set and forget, and doesn't have a subscription.
Any recommendations?
If your car gets stolen it’s probably preferable to not see it again and get insurance since no telling what’s been done to it/in it.
Tile has stealth mode, you will get sued by them if you do creepy removed things though
Well I don't have any nefarious plans but uh i am kinda concerned about why a company would sue an individual for creeping on another individual.
It's their clause for enabling something that could be one of the biggest breaches of privacy you have to send them I'd and such to enable it. Tile is still pretty niche and they have some great models to pop in places you need to keep tabs on.
Don't let anyone tell you Airtag or Tile is the way to go.
You can get under hood or under vehicle trackers connected to battery.
I saw some on Amazon but they required a monthly fee and honestly I'm so sick of subscriptions
You probably need one to send the data somewhere and pay for the mobile data connection.
If you're genhinely worried your car is going to get lost or stolen the air tag ones won't help you. If your car is up the bush somewhere or just away from someone with an iPhone you're SOL.
I just googled "air tag alternatives" and came back with a bunch of options. You'll have to see for yourself to see which one fits your needs the best.
They’re useless if there’s no iPhone nearby. It is pretty useless to even keep tabs on my 7yo when she wants to play in the cul de sac because people stay in their homes and the street is not close enough to the phones inside the houses.
