To scan a Matrix label you need an imager and imagers will not scan GM VINs. The VINtrack 2D/1D will scan GM VINs as well as many licenses, titles and smog documents but it will not scan Matrix labels found on component parts.

For a complete solution we recommend our VINtrack Basic or Bluetooth scanning systems along with the VINtrack Bluetooth 2D/1D. This will allow you to scan all labels in the field.

VINtrack  Bluetooth 2D/1D (Item #BTBRR-F)

This system is a small hand held Bluetooth imager. It can scan 1D and both Data Matrix and PDF417 2D barcodes (however it cannot scan through a windshield for GM vehicles, use our VINtrack Basic or VINtrack Bluetooth for normal scanning). The primary use for this scanner would be to scan titles, drivers' licenses, smog stickers and vehicle component parts into your handheld VINtrack system or other nearby computer Bluetooth enabled PC.

You must have a Bluetooth enabled PDA or PC to use this scanner. If you don't have that capability then you can buy our Bluetooth USB device that will allow you to use Bluetooth.
 

Includes: Scanner, Battery, String-lanyard, one Universal Recharging adaptor (EU, US, UK, AU plug), one PDA stylus, CD with all needed software and Documentations and a one-year warranty.

Two-dimensional bar code symbologies (2D) have been making their way into our industry. Linear bar codes (1D) have served the auto industry well for over 10 years. However, a major drawback to 1D labels is the limitation of the amount of data they hold. Currently we use 1D for the Federal labels, GM PVIN’s, parts labels and secondary numbers.  

Data capacity and space efficiency are two of the major advantages of 2D symbologies. 2D should be looked at as a portable data file. There are also security features that can be used with 2D. You could have a label cut in half and still read all of the data that was on the full label. This will help us when the suspects remove only part of the label. 2D is currently being used in many states for several different applications. Some are being placed on titles and registrations; others are being put on the windshields or doorposts of vehicles for smog programs.

A PDF417 symbol can encode more than a kilobyte of data – up to 100 times the capacity of a linear bar code of similar size, (250 characters per square inch vs. 28 characters).
