Locating a parked car is now easier with the Scosche FoundIT, a dual-USB car charger that doubles as a vehicle finder. This 12V charger includes a 20W USB-C port and a 12W USB-A port, allowing simultaneous charging of smartphones and tablets. Its performance has been tested to handle a continuous 32W output without overheating.
The device integrates a finder tag compatible with Apple Find My and Google Find Hub. This allows users to track their vehicle's location via a smartphone app. The finder tag offers approximately 100 feet of Bluetooth range and accurate map positioning. For added convenience, the FoundIT has a built-in rechargeable battery that automatically charges when plugged in. This battery can sustain the finder function for up to three months when the charger is unplugged, ensuring it remains operational even when the car is off or the charger is temporarily removed.

Priced at $25, the Scosche FoundIT offers a practical solution for drivers who frequently misplace their vehicles in large parking lots.
