2e47 & 2e41
Sorry of mentioned before, started car this morning and was fluctuating a little on idle. Completely fine after a few mins. Though I'd scan the car anyway and found errors 2e47 and 2e41 stored. They are intermittent and once cleared, don't come back for a while but I thought I'd check in case it was something to worry about? E87 118d N47 Cheers, Joe -

Use of an Airtag or Similar on the Key FOB ?
Thanks for the update Rory hopefully your experience will be good. I spoke again with the Merc/Porsche specialist I know apparently the tags he has seen are both Apple and in use by Porsche owners Dave -

Use of an Airtag or Similar on the Key FOB ?
I was an airline mechanic up until I retired 2 years ago. There isn't any carrier Under US FAA or EASA regulations that restricts the use of any airtag or similar device. Lufthansa was rumored to have tried, using the interference claim but quickly denied it when it's customers heard about it. Our shop actually put tags on specialized tools so the Tool Room could track them and since new generation tags can have a range of 90' to as much as 450' it help prevent tools from leaving the hanger or being left on the aircraft. The Avionics guys I worked with all seem to agree that for my purposes there shouldn't be any issues and just say to monitor the batteries in the key and tag. They will get you close enough to what ever they're attached to that if you can't se what your looking for you can tap your smartphone and the'll put out a tone like a ring. The ones made by TILE can be used in reverse if you have your FOB but can't find your phone, tap on them and the signal will have your phone ring. I ordered one Apple Airtag and One Tile Pro. I carry a battery for my FOB in my wallet so should they drain the battery I can just toss a new battery in and remove the tag if I decide it's an issue. It'll take awhile to decide but I'm gonna give em a try. ! -

Use of an Airtag or Similar on the Key FOB ?
An interesting topic, I have considering getting one for my motorbike key (cost hundreds to replace if lost) so at £35 for an AirTag it's worth a punt. However, not sure how effective it is as it relies on Bluetooth and can only triangulate to a rough area then I guess it tracks more accurately once you are within that area. Also, have read that some airlines won't let them be used when traveling as they can affect the plane's electronics. Once I get one, will update this post to let you know pros and cons but I guess for that money it's worth a try as cheaper than replacing a key
