Toyota Installs Anti-Theft Package In New Cars

Toyota cars are the most frequently chosen brand by customers in Poland with every fifth car registered in Poland in January 2022 being a Toyota. 

Unfortunately, Toyotas are equally popular among thieves, which is why the manufacturer has introduced a new anti-theft protection package. 

The package is based on three elements consisting of a new generation anti-theft device, chrome-plated anti-theft nuts for the wheels and the SelectaDNA forensic marking system.

Artur Wasilewski, Service Department Manager Toyota Motor Poland, says about the new system: 

“We enrich and constantly refine all elements of the anti-theft package offered for our new cars. It also includes modern immobilisers, alarms and wheel protection with special patent screws. Our role in Toyota services is to ensure that drivers can enjoy their cars without any worries.”

SelectaDNA can be used to forensically mark vehicles and their individual parts. It uses synthetic DNA technology with microtracers. For criminals, car parts that are marked are completely useless for resale, as the marking placed on the components is so durable it can’t be removed.

The SelectaDNA system also deters car thieves, because Toyota cars are marked in a visible and permanent way - two large warning stickers and a special marking code are placed on the windows. 

Labels with the same code are also found inside the Toyota. It is virtually impossible to remove the labels, as well as the marking. SelectaDNA is being recommended by the police in Poland.
