Maybe because an OBD access, with a "good" program you could initialize a new key..... |

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.

Make the original OBD as a dummy.. And on a hidden place the new OBD port😉 |

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. |

Or put a simple hidden switch between the wires to the fuel pump😉 |

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 |
