No, because it effects hardness. Hardness is *not* DR.
Just because an armor mod exists, doesn't mean its useful for an android. The "don/doff armor quickly" mod doesn't do anything for them, either.
I came to check this out mostly because a friend of mine house rules that it would allow a DR 5 towards the person wearing it, seeing as there is a rule in Pathfinder that explains hardness on skin to represent DR, and to have hardness on a person's skin would represent a "thick hide" that would require more damaging weapons to Pierce. I found it a cool way to integrate the fact that not all armor upgrades work inside the Android, I honestly think having a battery charger as your upgrades slot is the best use for it though. Makes you the recharge center of any journey.
