Wasn't that a L494 which do have a security issue which allows easy access to the car when it is locked. If thieves have the skill to break into the security system of the car then I am sure they will be able to remove the OBD2 lock in a short time.

The OBD port is merely a spur of the CANBUS; they need only go underneath and probe it elsewhere to achieve the same. Visiting from DISCO3.CO.UK

Any car with keyless entry is at risk. All these measures do is slow them down or make them pick an easier target. |

This was an issue when I had my ST. A few people bought various OBD protectors, some went to Screwfix and bought virtually the same stuff for £8 Relocating is another good idea. Steve. |
