Yes, they would, it tracks all BT devices, not just Airtags.
But even with an unmodified tracker, it's quite hard to locate one in a car, because there is a lot of hiding spaces (especially if you put one in some hard-to-reach space such as under the carpet in the cabin etc...).
- anabab 2y agowhat if you do a tracker that randomizes bluetooth mac address every few minutes?
- imp0cat 2y agoThat would probably work. Not sure if one actually exists though.
- sandywaffles 2y agoIt very much does and has for a while now: https://samteplov.com/uploads/who-tracks-the-trackers/trackers.pdf https://samteplov.com/uploads/who-tracks-the-trackers/tracke... Using randomized or rolling addresses avoids detection to an extent, depending on how many randomized addresses one uses and how often they're rotated. However, it's also trivial to detect randomized (or rolling) addresses due to the address being utilized for more than a single locality. Although, I'm not sure that either Apple or Google is actually doing the randomized detection even with this new patch.
