Great idea. Where did you buy your air tags?

Keys are going away anyway. Hello smart phone locks. Not sure how I feel about this. On one hand it's convent. On the other, it's one more thing to go wrong.They are not locksmiths. The old guys who knew this stuff (guys who defined themselves by their work) are retiring (or have already). The kids coming up do not know the trade. Sam the locksmith retired near me, and sold his business to some guy who operates out of a truck. Sam had a shop with two walls of key blanks and a dozen different key machines (some had micrometer adjustments, some were the standard copy a key type). The new guy could not copy my Guzzi key, and had no idea where to find a blank. One of the real remaining locksmith shops had a stack of keys on the wall that fit and made a copy for me in minutes.
The Tile devices are the least reliable for recovering something outside your phone’s Bluetooth range as they rely on devices with the Tile app installed, I don’t know anyone with that app. The Samsung and Apple solutions are probably equally good or bad as each has a large user base. When I first got them I played around with them and work amazingly well.Ended up with a couple of Samsung trackers and a Tile.
Keep an eye on slickdeals.com and Amazon. Amazon is an authorized Apple reseller and frequently has sales on AirTags. The sale isn't great but it feels better than paying full pop.Where did you buy your air tags?
What model/year is your Nissan? I ask for an odd reason...Most electronic stores seem to carry them and Apple stores of course, there is an android equivalent just not sure what it is called. The way it works is that if it is near an iPhone it will say hello via Bluetooth and the phone reports the location to Apple and if you use the Find My …. App it will get the last reported location. The phone does not require to be paired or anything, all it needs is an up to date OS and other than the initial purchase there is no subscription fee. I bought them because my wife couldn’t find her keys this spring so I went to an Apple Store and bought a blister pack containing four Tags.
