Late L322s have been going like this too. Surprised the security hole hasn't been fixed. |

I wonder if it just makes sense to completely disconnect the OBD II port on our cars ???? I mean physically cut the cable and put a connector or switch in that we only know about.

to put a physical steering lock onto a £100k motor just isnt right, its like putting a roofrack on the space shuttle so it can carry extra cargo..

The OBD2 socket is in the cabin Stan, so your car would need to be entered/broken into to gain access anyway... |

Wow, we just assume that this type of theft is a thing of the past with modern security but I guess anything is possible.

Adam, the only way into the "brain" of the car would be through the OBD2 socket... Im no expert on these matters, someone like SteveMF would be your man |

It would appear that if the thieving bas ds want your car then they are going to get it one way or the other.
