Description

The OBD shielding is a small steel safe that encloses the vehicle diagnostic socket. It opens only with a coded key, the same one as the Defender steering lock.

Why the OBD socket is the weak point

Most thefts of recent cars no longer involve forcing anything: the thief connects a programmer to the OBD socket and within minutes writes a new key, then opens the car and drives off exactly as the owner would. Shielding that socket removes access to the ECU and stops the key being duplicated.

Features

  • High-strength steel worked using Micro Casting
  • Coded-key lock, shared with the Defender steering lock
  • It can hold inside it a small GPS unit, combining protection with tracking
  • It does not get in the way of diagnostics: it opens when the car goes to the workshop

Who it is for

Anyone with a keyless-start car, or one of the models most in demand on the parts market, and anyone who habitually parks on the street. It pairs with the steering lock to cover both the electronic and the mechanical way in.

Fitting

Frequently asked questions about OBD shielding

Does OBD shielding stop diagnostics in the workshop?

No: it opens with the coded key whenever the diagnostic tool needs connecting. It stops access for anyone who does not have that key.

Why do thieves use the OBD socket?

Because by connecting to the diagnostic socket they can programme a new key in minutes and drive the car away without forcing anything. Shielding the socket closes that route.

Can a GPS unit be fitted inside the shield?

Yes, the housing is designed to take a small GPS tracker inside it.

Does it use the same key as the steering lock?

Yes: the coded key is the same as the Defender steering lock and the Steel Cover, so you carry one set of keys.
