A video is circulating that supposedly shows the V16 beacon in operation and claims to determine your geolocation without activating it, something I asked the Maldita.es WhatsApp chatbot (+34 644 229 319) about. The video is not showing Beacon V16 powered By itself, but it is a mobile application myIncidentfrom Netun, the same manufacturers of the V16 “Help Flash” beacon.
V16 Signals can be used without connection to any mobile application and upon purchase You do not have to give any identifying information It does not connect the lighthouse to the buyer nor to the car, as indicated by the Spanish Data Protection Agency (AEPD).
The V16 beacons can be used without linking them to any mobile application, and when purchasing them, you do not have to give any identifying information linking the beacon to either the buyer or the vehicle, as noted by the Spanish Data Protection Agency (AEPD).
Netun offers a beacon that can optionally be linked to its app and add additional functionality, such as calling for car insurance or emergencies, but Connecting the V16 beacon to the app is not necessary: According to DGT and General Vehicle Regulations, device connection to DGT 3.0 does not require or rely on any mobile phone or application. In this optional linking process, the personal information of the user and the vehicle is added.
