OBD PORT Theft
|
The OBD PORT is the "On-Board Diagnostics" port on your vehicle. It's a communication interfaces for the vehicles monitoring & control systems. Its also used by garages to identify and resolve faults.
Issue: Unfortunately the OBD PORT can be abused by anyone with access to it (e.g rogue garage, valet parking or car wash employees) to create a copy of your cars electronic key fob! KEYLESS ENTRY Theft |
A keyless entry system is fitted to many modern vehicles. Entry to the car and ignition is permitted to anyone who is carrying the electronic "key fob". This is very convenient since no physical key is inserted into the car.
Issue: The keys radiate electronic signals constantly. These can be captured and relayed long distances to the car using simple technology that's readily available to enable theft .

Who are we ? We were victims of car theft. We now try to prevent others becoming the same.
What happened ? Thieves badly damaged our car trying to gain access to the "OBD PORT". Our port was protected so our car was not stolen but we had a very expensive repair bill!
What did we do ? We realised the thieves were unaware our car a DISABLED OBD PORT. So we designed our "OBD PORT DISABLED" stickers.
How about now ? We now supply a range of window stickers to deter vehicle and property crime (see our TRACKER, CCTV, MOTION & IMPACT and 24H MONITORED alarm products here ONLINE SHOP).
Why are we on Social Media ? We're passionate about SECURITY, AWARENESS and DETERRENTS. We socialise frequently exploited SECURITY vulnerabilities and spread AWARENESS of risks. If you know what and how criminals are doing, we hope our followers can install DETERRENTS and prevent themselves becoming victims!
