hey guys im in the market for a type R and know the risks of a integra being stolen and having a type r makes it 1000x worse. Has anyone had an experience with data dots or know of it actually working this person im buying it from is offering me a hookup on data dots, and i want to know if its even worth the money, or even does anything. sorry if there is already a thread like this tried search but nothing

For those who dont know what it is its pretty much a bunch of tiny round thigns with a tracking number on all your parts. I dont know the effectiveness but sounds pretty effective

heres a link: http://www.datadotdna.com/

 

Intresting..Looks like something worth looking into.

 

okay, and how do you find your car once it gets stolen, is it like a sprayed paint GPS system?

Never heard of this before, but it sounds expensive to do and maintain. (possibly montly premiums)

 

interesting, in for more info

 

This is very intriguing! In for more info as well . . .

 

data dots is something GM has used for quite a while, basically a bunch of serial numbers all over your car, only visible with a black light i believe, kinda useless imo.

 

All Subarus sold new in New Zealand come factory with data dots, seems to work

well i was quoted 250 and i guess they spray a bunch of dots all over areas of your parts from all over your car, i dont know too much about it but it intrigued me too so i was wondering abotu it, it was on csi this guy showed me. hold on i will try to find it. But yeah the guy told me chop shops wont dare go anywhere near this stuff.

 

yeah the dots are like grains of sand and sprayed onto parts and need a blacklight to find em its like tracked to your vin number

sorry bout the triple post

 

nope no monthly premium, a one time fee, and i know its not a gps system but yeah thats the mystery im trying to figure out is what can they do with it to get you your stuff back....

 

lol At first glance I thought you were spamming.

 

It doesnt help locate the parts like a GPS or anything, but if the parts are found they can be linked back to you as they have your VIN/registration or whatever on each dot.

 

so does it help at all or a waste of money?
