Looking into these but know very little 😬

Primary use will be to locate my keys and Audi to give my bike location of it's stolen/if I come off etc

Will the tile do that? Is it directly comparable with an airtag?

Surely the airtag holders advertised are an easy spot for a criminal to remove?

Can they be hidden in fork steerers?

Yes - search 'BikeTag Trail' on eBay. Full disclosure if you haven't already realised, I make these for the purpose you describe...

Tile will do that (remote tracking on a map) but requires a £30/year subscription and has a smaller network of devices searching for the tag, so will likely take longer for your bike/wallet/keys to show up when you've lost them. Personally I think (for bikes at least) you're better off with an airtag even if you're running an Android phone, if you've got access to an apple device through family or close friends. A Tile Sticker should fit in a steerer on the BikeTag though.

I wouldn't use either as a backup in case you fall off.
