Exclamation OBDII Port Anti-Theft Lock

2008-2015 INFINITI G37/Q60 and 2009-2020 Nissan 370Z cars are currently the 3rd most stolen cars in the US. Thieves can simply break a window or the sunroof, plug into the OBD port with pirated software and program a new blank key fob to start your car and drive away with it in less than 2 minutes all without setting off the factory alarm and bypassing the factory immobilizer.

Even if you recover your car, your key fobs will no longer work and will need reprogrammed by the dealer. You may even need your entire ECU replaced!

Don't be a victim! Avoid all of these headaches and insurance issues by installing my custom engineered OBD port lock specifically designed to only fit the G37/370Z that installs in minutes. It fully surrounds the OBD port and protects it from any unauthorized access by a potential thief. No modifications are needed and it is easily removable for any dealer or service work when needed.

It is a one piece high strength 11 gauge stainless steel design precision fit to the factory mounting bracket with a high strength pick resistant lock that can be removed in seconds with a simple key.

It is far superior to the generic plastic junk on the market now. Is anyone interested in buying one if I sell it for less than $250 each? I have one working prototype and need to know if there is enough interest to warrant producing them.

If you can keep the price around a hundred bux you'd probably sell a bunch.
any pics of the lock?

Can you describe how it “locks” to the OBD2 connector. I can’t picture this…

See attach





See attached pictures. It's not perfect due to limitations that press brakes have to make this one piece hence why the holes for the lock pin are so close to the edge. Not ideal, but it will still be a PITA to get off in cramped quarters.

Not with the intent of "hijacking" this thread, but I came across this option some time ago when searching for options for the BMW but never posted it here. Yes, the page is in Italian but I am sure your browser can translate same. A little overkill for my taste but likely effective all the same. Thankfully BMW disables the port at a software-level so my original plan should suffice. That said...

Seems there are tons of creative ways to "disable" the OBD port. I still say that unless you routinely need the damn thing get rid of it. Especially if you are a G owner.
