Chris Rickards, General Manager, Subaru of New Zealand, said: “Subaru of New Zealand has offered DataDot protection across its entire range in New Zealand since 2003. The introduction of this advanced anti-theft technology in addition to product design lead initiatives has seen a significant reduction in theft rates amongst New Zealand new Subaru. This demonstrates our intention to adopt the best ways of deterring vehicle thieves.”

New Zealand Police DataDots are a very good tool. The more vehicles that are fitted with them the better it will be for everyone – except the offenders.

New Zealand Police   Wellington's Organised Crime Unit vehicle crime investigator Senior Constable Mark Gibson said would-be car thieves were steering clear of the new technology as it was virtually impossible to remove all the DataDots without destroying the car. "This has got to be the best crime-fighting identification tool for the police that has been released," he said.

  "Police promote parts marking in all its forms and of course this one (DataDots) is a spray, so there is very little of the vehicle that the spray will not reach."

"What we have seen here today is DNA for vehicles; 10,000 microdots are sprayed all over a vehicle ..... and that will make information available to the Police that was never available to them before."
Mr Paul Whelan,

"We consider DataDot as a product which will be at the forefront of our fight against fake products and we embrace this unique foreign technology."

"DataDots can be applied to virtually any vehicle component. They make it extremely difficult for thieves to change the identity of stolen vehicles or use parts from another vehicle, or multiple vehicles, to "re-birth" a vehicle. It represents a significant commitment to the very latest in anti-theft technology and demonstrates our intention to adopt the best ways of deterring thieves."
Nick Senior, General Manager

"There is very strong evidence that since September 2001 marked vehicles (with DataDots) in both the BMW and HSV (GM) ranges have been stolen unrecovered at significantly lesser rates (indicative of 60% for BMW and 73% /HSV) than unmarked vehicles (of the same make and models) were at relatively the same age.
Police report that they are being told by offenders that post 2001 HSV's (GM/Holden based performance vehicles) are now "too hot to handle" because of their microdot "DNA" marking."
