Optional S5 Tracker- Powered by Vodafone

[Awaz]

I just received an email from Porsche with My Porsche: Link and activate your Macan

They are also offering a tracker. The cost of supplying and installation is £750.
Is anyone considering this?

AirTags are working pretty well for me…

I understand AirTags are for Apple.
I have an Android, Samsung S24.

Chipolo makes trackers that work on Android.

ahhh ok - yeah - you need an iOS eco-system to find your vehicle - have you consider a "tile"

https://www.tile.com/

I believe they work for android

the celluar stuff is 'better' - but the tile/airtag approach is pretty cheap and works almost as "well" - my buddy did euro-pickup and he had an airtag in his 911 GT3 - even got the occassional update form milddle of the ocean - presumablly when some crew member walked by his car and the phone in their pocket was connected to ship's wifi…LOL

just a thought - you can get the airTag/Tile for cheap while you continue ponder a "real tracker".

A real locator?
For example, what would you recommend?

Thanks @daveo4EV always used Apple Airtag and never heard about Tile (I'm going to order a couple of "slim")

The main disadvantage of Tile is the tracking network only consists of the phones that run the Tile app (and explicitly grant it permission to always run in the background), vs. Apple's tracking network of almost every iOS device, or Google's network of most Android phones in the past few OS releases.
