The report came out around 6 months ago and when reviewed it was more around how thieves are actually managing to gain entry (watch some of the videos on YouTube and a thief literally walks up to a car, indicators flash and they jump straight in). Your not making any valid points at all, really. So far you've claimed there spying devices, and made a point that they're bad because "insurance adapts them then premiums go up"... Which is entirely wrong. Telling your insurance you've got one actually lowers your premium... Think about it. Portector utilises a range of bespoke wiring looms to seamlessly integrate into a vehicle. This ensures the correct fitment every time, without the need to cut into the vehicles wiring. Relocating the OBD port from the standard, easily accessible location is a popular option. An OBD wiring extension can be used to reroute the port to a different place on the car (often inside the glovebox). Once inside this allows them access to the obd port and to program keys... Just confirms the necessity of securing your vehicle with Portecor (or of course some form of anti-theft device).In 2001, the European Union introduced requirements that all new petrol cars must offer OBD access. New diesel-powered models were included from 2003. This standard is often referred to as EOBD. What can an OBD port be used for?
