Suspicious Activity at Car Wash

I was wondering whether you can gleam anything by downloading from the "connection point" under the steering
column area, such as entry/alarm codes etc or am i just being paranoid .. would the dealer be able to know if
something had been connected and downloaded any data

I had the car hand washed today and the guy who booked it in he spent an inordinate amount of time looking around and not being aware i was watching him from their cafe area.. looked to be doing anything but detailing the car..i suspect he may
have connected something to the connection point, is this a general data port.. i am thinking of taking it to the stealers
and get them to reprogram the keys and codes. Another Pommie Bar Steward down under

So i am assuming that i can get the vehicle and keys recoded to make any potential clone coding irrelevant Another Pommie Bar Steward down under

If you think someone had accessed the vehicles OBD port then as suggested it would be pertinent to have all keys recoded.

Have you reported this to the Police? If they had suspicions about these guys they may Pay them a visit, if they had equipment at the car wash that was able to be connected to the OBD port then it would be pretty difficult for them to explain why a car wash required to do this. The evidence of the downloads would be available on the laptop and by the nature of the data, traceable back to individual vehicles!

You can get a reasonable amount of data from the ODB port - but things like the vin are avaliable anyway, so its difficult to say what they might have been doing, short of something with the alarm

My advice would be to check both keys work (you shouldnt be able to have more than two keys programmed at once)

Report it to the police

Used Valet mode in future - it doesnt stop this, but does restrict some functions

And wash it yourself. Mike

Thanks all Thumbs Up

UPDATE: The dealer has done a "rolling code" update so any information that may have been sourced should be
now out of date in terms of entry systems etc Another Pommie Bar Steward down under
