Description
Modern car thieves are more sophisticated than ever. Many now exploit the On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) port to program new keys or disable security systems. Therefore, upgrading your vehicle’s protection is no longer optional; it’s essential. The OBD Port Lock offers a robust, mechanical solution that physically blocks unauthorised access to your car’s diagnostic port.
This tamper resistant lock completely encloses the OBD port. It requires a specialised key for removal, stopping any external device from being connected. Most importantly, it fits seamlessly with your factory system, so you maintain full diagnostic and servicing access when needed. Especially for keyless entry vehicles, this added layer of security is a must-have.
How It Works
The lock installs directly over your OBD-II port, forming a tough enclosure that blocks access to programming tools. Because it uses a mechanical key, only authorised personnel can unlock it. Whenever your car goes in for servicing, simply remove the lock, there’s no software to uninstall and no impact on your vehicle’s electronics.
