OBD SOCKET DANGERS

[Jon39]

I recently started a topic about OBD transmitters. It was to learn how to superimpose live performance data on to a video.

Having now looked into the OBD subject a little further, I was horrified to find that thieves are using OBD sockets to steal cars.

Should we be implementing additional precautions?

Jon I presume you mean something like this. Locks the OBD socket, not sure if there is an AM specific one.
