Hello, is there any wireless device I can use to check for tracking chips in cars as a mechanic?

>>15865 Oh, boy. You get to see how deep the rabbit hole goes. You could get an RF sniffer. Anything that has any kind of cellular modem such as OnStar or other similar systems is trackable. Same for bluetooth. Beyond that, they can even track identifiers in tire pressure monitoring systems. There's even unique identifiers embedded in the tires themselves, but those are more akin to NFC due to the level of proximity needed to get a read on it. Not only that, but they can track based on HOV/Express tags, or even by ALPR systems. Here's a great talk on the subject: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T43Ti7c11lY Good luck, have fun.

Short answer is no because there are tracking devices which don't transmit anything (they receive location from gps and just write it to an onboard sdcard. Then the person who planted it comes back later and pulls it off the car). If you're thinking about a tracking deice that broadcasts your location in real time then you could use an rtl-sdr and sdrsharp to monitor radio waves near the car. If something starts transmitting nearby (and you're listening in the right frequency range), then you'll see a blip on the graph. And you'll get a stronger signal the closer you are to the source so in theory you could eventually figure out where the tracker is if it is transmitting regularly. https://www.qsl.net/dl2wb/RTLSDR/rtlsdr.htm That's what I'd try I guess.

There exists an circuitry detection device, it doesn't work well near large chunks of metal since it's basically a very precise metal induction/attenuation detector. Used specifically for such purposes: detection of record-only bugs or gps trackers which obviously work only in reception mode most of the time. You'd have to build one yourself or ask someone to because commercially sold devices are unreasonably overpriced.

you can buy gps trackers you can attach to cars, that's what the feds do.

just disconnect the battery and the generator and give the chassis a firm zap with a couple thousand volts. Should get rid of any trackers.
