Patriot Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 Here is an interesting video which gives a pretty straight forward way to disable the speaker on an Apple Air Tag. Removal of the speaker eliminates the continuous audible chirp after 72 hrs. Removal of the speaker will not allow a bad actor to hear the chirp, then find and disable the AT by removing the battery after he/she locates it. For example an AT hidden in a car under the seat or in the trunk. Or in a piece expensive camping equipment say a portable generator or even an Oliver TT. The bad actor will eventually figure out there is an AT on the stolen item tracking them if they have an iPhone. Without the speaker chirping it will be more just a bit a lot more difficult to find. A common misconception - the map location is not the location of the air tag, it’s the map location for your truck or campers air tag that would have been the location of the persons phone who parked or walked or drove by close enough for their phone to hear the air tags broadcast.

Patriot Posted May 3 Author Share Posted May 3 Received the Air Tags and removed all four speakers. It’s not difficult to do and all four are mute now. 4 2020 OLEII - Hull #634 aka- “Beauty & the Beast” - 2021 F350 6.7 liter Diesel Lariat Ultimate Tremor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patriot Posted May 5 Author Share Posted May 5 It appears Air Tags worked in this particular tracking situation. Crime never pays. https://www.foxnews.com/us/airtag-helps-illinois-law-enforcement-track-men-accused-stealing-over-1-million-from-armored-truck 3 2020 OLEII - Hull #634 aka- “Beauty & the Beast” - 2021 F350 6.7 liter Diesel Lariat Ultimate Tremor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
