I read a KZbinr who was getting a lot of construction equipment stolen uses two air tags on each one , one with the speaker and one without . He leaves one AirTag with its speaker in, that way they find it and throw it out thinking it’s gone , but the other one is still there with no speaker and the the thieves just think there reading the one they removed .I’m going to do this myself , as I have the first gen and removed their speakers

[@takeapart]

great idea

[@MelbourneExclusive0]

How difficult is it to remove it on the new gens?

[@MajorTendonitis]

@@MelbourneExclusive0 I read it’s possible but harder . I broke one tab of course on my first gen . Super glue it is lol . I was thinking don’t they have these magnet degaussers that you pass a magnet through and it weakens it ? It would totally non evasive of that worked , just kill the magnet and it can’t make noise

[@MelbourneExclusive0]

@@MajorTendonitis I ended up buying and removing 2 speakers from them. It's not that hard but a blade makes the job really easy

Thank you for the very CLEAR instructions ! Now I feel safe disassembling my four-pack of new AirTags. 🙂

[@user-jt3nf7in5w]

I did this because I have an airtag on my dogs collar and the noise bothered him - neat trick!

[@takeapart]

I have another video… to eliminate sound completely! check it out

[@MajorTendonitis]

Does this work to this day? I heard they did a revision to make this more difficult

[@dksurfer]

Great tutorial. I removed the speaker from my bike, car and luggage airtags

[@thepiecesfit5049]

I've removed the speaker but can still hear it when I hit Play Sound with Find My although not as loud. I thought this mod would completely silence it?

[@takeapart]

for complete silence you have to disconnect the coil as well .

[@thepiecesfit5049]

@@takeapart is it just a matter of removing the copper wire? or is there anything else of consideration

[@takeapart]

@thepiecesfit5049 yeah just cut copper wire (don’t even remove coil)

[@thepiecesfit5049]

@@takeapart thanks already done it's working and completely silent.

@ardentabacistx5360 🙏

[@santos886]

I still hear the damm sound

[@ybrik5937]

but not enough to hear it if it is kept secretly.

[@bradenntton]

never mind i was just scared for peoples safety sorry!

[@zachw566]

There are legitimate reasons for wanting a silent AirTag, such as that someone stealing your car, bike, or bag will not be able to find it as easily.

[@bradenntton]

@@zachw566 eeh maybe that does kind of make since because it gives them a push notification and they could make it ping and they could easily find your stuff

[@mactep1]

I put one in my car to protect against theft, if it is stolen, the fact they they might receive a notification about it but wont be able to find it will probably scare them into just abandoning it.,

[@takeapart]

I did exactly same thing

[@bradenntton]

ok sorry i’m stupid

[@TimCullis]

Thanks, I have now removed the speakers from the AirTags for my campervan, motorbike and e-bike. Easy mod.

[@takeapart]

exactly! thanks for watching

[@marclee9876]

My AirTag stopped working after removing speaker. Any help?

[@takeapart]

hi, it may appear like so but it works without speaker …. unless you damaged some internal components while you tried to open it. You can try to reset airtag by reinserting battery 5x and then pair it again with iphone. Also try new battery…

[@damakun]

is it wroking now?

[@takeapart]

mod is working and airtag as well

[@damakun]

@@takeapart Thanks for the reply but I was asking him 😅😅

[@takeapart]

oh yea… let’s wait

[@st4rskream]

I put one in the tongue of my sons shoe when he went away on a 4 day school trip. Damn thing kept making noises, if only id seen this video before hand

[@takeapart]

hahahha …. it must have been terrible for him

[@MajorTendonitis]

I found a non invasive way to disable the speaker . My friend has a demagnetizer . I ran it threw a few times till the magnet was demagnetized, and no more sound Not serious,but makes me wonder if it would work ?

[@mo9th668]

Will the airtag send a notification to the person's phone if you remove this piece?

[@takeapart]

Hi , yes airtag will function normaly .

[@ДартВейдер-ж3ъ]

​@@takeapartHow can I turn off the notification?

[@takeapart]

@user-kg5vj5pw5d can’t help you with that… sorry

[@JayPapas91]

I just did this and now my AirTag can’t be found/ connect 🤔

[@takeapart]

reset it ! remove and reinsert battery 5times

[@JayPapas91]

@@takeapart it worked! You the best! Here I thought I needed a new one

[@takeapart]

@JayPapas91 no worries, thanks for watching! enjoy 😉

[@JayPapas91]

@@takeapart actually it worked to update the location but it doesn’t refresh, I left it then I removed battery again and it updated again. But now I left the location and it doesn’t update again. It just shows last updated location. Seems I would have to remove and reinsert for it to update

[@takeapart]

@JayPapas91 what are the chances that you damaged something inside while doing the MOD?
