Default electronic rust proofing: safe for the XK8 electronics?

I'm considering adding some form of rust proofing to my '03 XK8 and would prefer to go with some type of electronic unit such as RS-5 Home

The manufacturer claims that the product is safe for any vehicle electronics, however since Jags seems to be a bit different than other vehicles in some regards, I thought I should ask here first Does anyone know if this might cause a problem?

I think electronic rustproofing is dubious at best. The XK8 already has zinc phosphate coated panels, so I think you are pretty good to go for rust-proofing.

I understand that the efficacy of this type of system is a controversy for some people, I really don't want to wade into that.

I just wondered if anyone has used something of this nature on the XK8/R and can confirm that it's safe with the electronic systems.
