Wouldn't just an Apple air-tag hidden under the seat do the job just as well??

Thieves would never think of looking for that, would they? 😅

Coming at this from C-HR ownership but I had read online - so not sure if it is correct or not - that the owner can't track the car, it is the company.  I can understand this from a security point of view a bit in terms of better the police going to a location - however if you're away for a fortnight you then wouldn't be able to dip in and out to check it is where it should be?

I've got an airtag hidden in the car, and an eufy tag hidden inside the roof bars, & eufy doesn't have uwb so it's harder to find. It also doesn't have a speaker anymore...  I'm waiting on an android equivalent of the airtag to have both ecosystems

Hmm, what we need is a device that, when activated, deadlocks the doors, locks the radio controls and just blares the chorus from Mmm Bop by Hanson (Other suggestions for Most Annoying Song In The World also taken) at maximum volume through all the internal Speakers, and blares a suitable message through the external AVAS Speakers, e.g. "Call the police! Thieving ***** inside!" repeatedly.

This should cause major psychological damage and PTSD to any lucky thieves who get to experience this, then everyone else could put stickers saying Protected by Hanson on their cars which would trigger their PTSD and discourage them from approaching such vehicles. The nervous tick would also give police something to look out for!

Samsung smartTag 2 pretty good but needs a Samsung phone.
