Almost every car that’s been manufactured over the last decade has a key FOB. Some key FOBs now even have multiple features, further adding to their convenience. However, this also makes the inconvenience of losing one much greater.
Can I Track My Key FOB?
It is possible to track key FOBs, smart keys, and transponder keys. However, you will need to have a car key tracking device, which works alongside a mobile app.
These devices rely on Bluetooth or radio frequency technology to communicate with your lost key. The receiver sends a signal, which is then picked up on your tracking app.
Just keep in mind that the signal range will vary per device, so you will need to be close enough to it for the signal to register. Most key finders have a range of between 150 and 200 ft.
Best Devices for Key FOB Tracking:
Chipolo One. Readily available on sites such as Amazon, this compact key finder works with Bluetooth technology and has a replaceable battery that lasts up to two years. The signal range is 200 ft. You can even use it in conjunction with Alexa, Siri, and Google Assistant.
Cube Pro. This affordable car key finder connects to the Cube app on iOS and Android and has a Bluetooth range of 200 ft. The built-in alarm can reach volumes of up to 100 decibels, ensuring you can find your key FOB more easily. Along with the replaceable battery lasting up to one year, the Cube Pro can also be submerged in water up to 1 meter.
Tile Pro. For anyone who would prefer a broader tracking range, there is the Tile Pro key FOB tracker, which has a range of 400 ft. Compatible with both Android and iOS, Tile Pro is water-resistant and comes with a one-year warranty and a 30-day money-back guarantee.
