Video Description

If you have old cars like I do, or perhaps newer cars without any inbuilt tracking features, you may be looking at an Apple AirTag, a Samsung Galaxy SmartTag+ or a GPS unit with LTE to keep track of your car in case it's stolen. But, how well do each of these work? Paul Maric tests out all three technologies to see which is best. Tests include: - Four waypoints to see which device is most accurate at each waypoint - What happens when there is no cell coverage? Which device finds the car to its nearest location? - What happens when you go looking for the car out on the street? Skip Ahead: Intro: 00:00 Ultra Wideband (UWB) explained: 00:41 Apple AirTag explained: 01:16 Samsung SmartTag+ explained: 02:07 GPS LTE explained: 02:39 Testing methodology explained: 03:15 Test 1 (driving to location with no cell coverage): 04:52 Test 2 (walking to car location in random place): 11:12 Verdict: 12:42 We review every new car on the market, bust car myths, cover the latest car tech and answer your burning questions.
