It's the ipad air.
I didn't provide enough detail because it's really strange since everything works otherwise.
I took screenshots of the face of the ipad when it was beeping and can post them if you want.
I think the only thing that makes sense is heat, but even that doesn't make sense.
The only other thing that makes sense is load, but even that doesn't make sense.
It's not a bad cable. I tried two, both of which worked before and after.
It's not a bad connection either since I pressed and wiggled everything.
No, it's something special - maybe heat? Maybe load?
Maybe charging but I doubt that because it was at 89% (I took snapshots at the time).
I thought it might be a bad cigarette socket but I pulled it and replaced it and pulled it and pressed it and twisted it.
I switched sockets between the phone and the ipad.
Still, it was only the ipad that beeped.
It doesn't do it now. It only did it then.
The ONLY thing different was that both the phone and ipad air were crunching gps for about an hour before this happened.
On my way home from a 3-hour trip, it didn't happen again.
Only on my way up.
I think the ipad got in a state that it really didn't like.
I wish I had recorded the beeping but I was driving at the time.
It's something strange because there is nothing wrong with the equipment and the battery was dropping from 99% to 89% over a period of about an hour and a half (I didn't measure the time).
There's something it didn't like.
