DATADOT

DataDots are transparent polyester discs of around 1 Millimetre in Diameter. The discs are marked with lines of text by a sophisticated laser etching process. These lines consist of text containing the vehicles unique VIN number or uniquely assigned P.I.N number which is then linked to your VIN number. DataDots are suspended in a water – based polyurethane adhesive which contains an ultra violet element. 

  • 10 000 DataDots are applied to specific locations on a vehicle.
  • This is done by means of a “Spray – On Technology” system.
  • These locations include original manufacturer VIN markings, body shell and key engine and suspension components among others.
  • Each vehicle has a minimum of 88 locations.
  • DNA For your vehicle.
  • DataDots are detected by exposing areas of the vehicle to ultra violet lighting which will allow authorities to remove a DataDot and view the information it contains.
  • Because of the sheer number of DataDots applied to the vehicle and the unique information reflected on them it becomes virtually impossible to completely rid a stolen vehicle or component of its original identity.
  • Car thief and hijacking syndicates know about DataDot and deem the vehicle “contaminated” as any part may be traced back to them. Therefore they do not want to steel a vehicle that has been fitted with DataDot. Your vehicle becomes “too hot to handle”
  • DataDots are applied according to fitment specifications which are designed to contaminate tradable parts and components.
  • Proven to reduce your chances or theft or hijacking by 50%
