Question Electronic Rust Module (??!!)

Anyone have any experience with this protection?? The electronic rust module is a little box that connects to your battery - it covers your vehicle with a complete negative charge that repels rust and whatever causes it (sounds weird, eh??). It's used on boats, oil rigs, etc., and is certified by the US gov. and the Canadian government in Quebec.

I was going for a more basic protection package, but our sales guy (who is really a nice, decent fellow - seriously) has offered to upgrade us to this at no extra cost because he things we should have it, plus it's transferable to other vehicles, so if you drive the RDX for a few years and get something else, then you simply apply it to the new vehicle.


Also, I'm a little concerned about the whole negative charge thing - what are the repercussions, e.g. of being surrounded/zapped by a neg. charge over the 3-5 years or more you own your vehicle???

Wow - could it be we're nearing life in the world of Gene Rodenberry?? Gadgets like this seem too good to be true.

Heard about that before, doubt it works, but maybe I'm wrong.

It would not endanger your body.

Sounds like a gimmick, especially if the dealer is trying to sell it as an add-on.

Wow DNP - How can you have rust on a brand new vehicle?? You're not talking about your nice-lookin' new white RDX are you??

So, you have the electronic rust module fitted to your battery and you still managed to get rust - how on earth???

doors and hatches don't necessarily have a good conductive connection to the rest of the vehicle which would prevent the electronic rust module from doing its job on these parts.
