Q: Can Microdots be removed by criminals?

The Recoveri Microdot cannot be easily removed since a thief would have to remove thousands of ID labels and law enforcement would only need to find one to identify a vehicle. The UV based adhesive dries within 15 minutes of application and hardens within 12 hours.

Q: Does the immobilizer need batteries?

No, the immobilizer system is integrated into the vehicle wiring and the security keys are powered by the system.

Q: How do I know if a vehicle has a Microdot?

The Microdot adhesive has an Ultraviolet (UV) base to it. Law enforcement agencies identify tagged assets with the use of ultraviolet light. The tagged asset will glow when exposed to UV light.
