Losing your car keys can be very frustrating, especially when you are already in a rush. However, a new Land Rover app has found a way to help drivers locate their keys immediately, as well as other kinds of objects.
Land Rover recently incorporated the Bluetooth technology used by Tile in locating various objects to help drivers find different essential objects that are often misplaced.
Engadget reports that the 2017 Discovery Sport can indicate when owners have left behind tagged objects and shows these on a map. The Bluetooth-connected trackers from Tile were intended to help people find a variety of things that are frequently handled and misplaced, such as phones, keys, tablets, bags and wallets, among other things.
According to Gizmodo, the small Bluetooth tracker, called a Tile, is physically attached to each item. Each Tile will then be paired to the user’s phone. Whenever the owner misplaces the item, they can open the Tile app and have the tracker play a 90db sound to locate the lost object.
The 2017 Discovery Sport Tile included the item-searching tech in its InControl apps setup, which will immediately inform the driver if tagged items are not inside the car. The app can also locate items that are already inside the vehicle. The tech can find these and start a 90db alert sound so drivers can quickly retrieve these, thereby saving time and effort.
