Will this find an AirTag hidden in my car?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — when it's transmitting. AirTags broadcast Bluetooth signals regularly to update their location via the Find My network. RF mode catches that transmission. Sweep your car slowly and watch the signal meter. If there's an AirTag, you'll see the bars climb when you get close.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2. Will this find a GPS tracker that's turned off or sleeping?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. That's what the magnetic probe is for. GPS trackers use strong magnets to stick to your car — the probe detects the magnet whether the tracker is transmitting or not. Most trackers sleep 90% of the time to save battery. RF alone misses them. Magnetic probe doesn't.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3. Does this detect hidden cameras?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnly if they're actively transmitting over WiFi or cellular. This detector finds RF signals, not camera lenses.

This model has two: RF and magnetic probe. If your concern is GPS trackers and audio bugs, this does the job. If you also need to sweep for hidden cameras, the VIM-BUGDETECT14 covers that too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e5. Why is the meter spiking near my dashboard?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eModern cars have built-in WiFi, Bluetooth, and GPS for navigation. To get an accurate sweep, turn off your vehicle's engine and move your smartphone away from the area. The 17-level meter helps you distinguish between the background noise of your car and the concentrated signal of a hidden tracker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e6. Is it hard to use?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. No software to install. No calibration required. Turn the sensitivity dial until the bars just disappear, then begin your sweep. When the bars climb back up, you've found a signal source.
