When Apple introduced its location tag AirTag, it literally changed the lives of some users. AirIn any case, the tag is really only intended for individuals who often forget their things or objects somewhere, or for those who want to protect their property against theft. It simply follows that the user base AirThe tag is relatively small, and only some will really appreciate it, while others will find it unnecessary.

Many of us AirFor example, we place the tag in a car, in a hidden place in case it is stolen. Through it, we can then at least approximately find out where it is, thanks to the use of the Find service network. One main disadvantage, however, is that in the case of a stranger's prolonged presence, it will start AirTag to make a sound, which gives itself away. In any case, few people know that many other localization devices can now be connected to the Find service network, which have different capabilities and features. Recently, I managed to find perhaps the first OBD car locator with support for the Find service network, on the Chinese marketplace AliExpress. I came across it completely by accident while searching for car accessories.

Of course, the found car-locator caught my attention at first sight and I thought to myself that it was most likely some form of forgery. Gradually, however, I began to find out that this is most likely a functional device that we can use to track the location of the vehicle. This locator is not powered by a coin cell battery, but by the diagnostic OBD port that all vehicles have since 1996. According to the official product description, you can see that this is indeed a functional locator that shows up in the Find app and can work with other devices in within the Find service network, of which there are more than 2 billion. Since it is a product from the Chinese market, it still raises some doubts, but the positive five-star reviews say otherwise. The important thing is that this auto-locator does not have a speaker, so it will not draw attention to itself. And if you would like to avoid disconnection, it is of course possible to take the OBD port anywhere else and connect the locator here secretly. The price is also pleasant, namely less than 400 crowns. Would you buy it?
He didn't buy. Because I don't have a car. 😁

Hello, as stated in the article, to the diagnostic OBD socket. Its location varies by car model, however, just type "OBD location [car name]" into Google and you'll be sure to see pictures of where to look for it.
Well thank you
This is a question. Is this the port where my service kit connects diagnostics?
Well, can't I mess something up in the car if I connect something like that?
great, I would just wait with the review until you get it and try it :-D
It has had two reviews in the last six months :D
I have an order, so we'll see.
it is not easier for airtag disconnect the speaker rather than re-connecting the OBD to somewhere else in the car?
And is it easy to get to? Plus, iPhone na airtag warns anyway, so I don't know if it would help.
totally cool

iphone na airtag will notify, but try to find it in the car, you can put it anywhere. While this even if the one toonewhich you connect elsewhere, you can find it by cable
Cool, also an interesting tip 👍🏻.
when you have tried it, please give a detailed review, although I don't own a car that would be stolen, I would get one out of curiosity
So it arrived and plugged in. anyway, it only shows me the last location where I was connected with it.
Then I didn't get it to show the online advice.
