Car theft recovery comes down to one question: can you see where it went? Three tracking approaches compared.
AirTag (from €5 holder)
Cheap, hidden, uses Apple's network. Downside: thieves' iPhones may alert them; updates can be slow in transit.
OBD plug-in tracker (€40)
Real-time GPS, geofence alerts, trip history. Powered by the car — no charging. Small monthly SIM cost. The sweet spot for most drivers. Gearyx Track →
Hardwired (€100+ installed)
Invisible and unpluggable, but needs installation. For high-risk vehicles.
Our recommendation
Layer it: OBD tracker + hidden AirTag + visible wheel lock. See the Security collection.
