Im looking to get a tracker for my car. Is there one you guys can recommend? (lemmy.ml)

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?

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.
