OBD Port Reprogramming Lead

This lead effectively immobilises your OBD Port unless the patch lead is connected therefore stopping a potential thief from stealing your car.

In a few simple steps you can reprogram your OBD port. The Lead comes with a unique pin layout and full colour printed instructions with photographs on how to disable your OBD port. It should take you no longer than 30 minutes to complete and the only tools required are a small flat blade screwdriver and a Torx 25 bit. You can also purchase a brand new Maxiscan code reader. See my other sales.

All you will need to do is to remove some of the pins from the back of your OBD port and locate them in a different position within the port. If a would be thief connected his equipment to the port it would not communicate. Then if you ever need to take your car to a dealer you connect the patch lead to convert the pin layout back to its original position.

Use the optional OBD code reader (see my other sales) to confirm your new lead is working. It can also be used to clear codes. E.g. Reset engine management light, abs light, airbag light plus much more.

You can leave your OBD port in its original position or you can relocate it to a different position and fit a dummy OBD port that I sell to add another layer of security.

  • For extra security every lead has it's own unique pin layout

• As these leads are made to order so please allow 7 days for delivery. 

• Full colour printed instructions with every order.

• Fully compatible with all MK2 Focus including ST pre and post facelift plus RS models.  

The Reason you should disable your OBD Port

The On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) port is the portal to the vehicles information and generally required to provide access to the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) or ‘brain’ of a vehicle during maintenance and servicing. This is where your service agent will plug their computer/diagnostic machine in to run diagnostics and carry out updates or checks on your vehicle. 

Most vehicles taken without keys are stolen using devices which plug into the OBD port. These intelligent devices ‘hack’ the brain of the vehicle and are able to bypass the vehicles integrated security protocols. This is genuine industry hardware used in a sinister way by a thief, it is not illegal to own these devices nor for companies to sell them, furthermore there is no licencing required or checks to confirm legitimacy of buyers. This equipment is readily available through multiple resellers online.

Most of these devices are pre-programmed so that when they plug into a vehicle, the alarm is turned off during the ‘hacking’ process. Once ‘hacked’ these devices usually then program a new key or trick the vehicle into thinking the key is already present. In many instances this process can take less than 30 seconds before the thief can drive the vehicle away.
