"Another reason to own a JB.

Intent was to steal the car but the JB stopped them. Looks like they drilled/removed the exterior door lock to gain access. That didn't work so they tried to pry the glass away from the frame and insert a coat hanger to open the door. In the process of doing that they broke the glass and it shattered into a million pieces.
Once inside they accessed the OBD port but were unsuccessful in hi-jacking the car.
With a key FOB programmer you can clone a key right from the OBD II port. The JB prevented the key programmer from accessing the ECU.Glad our customer still has his car."
Crippling the OBD2 port shouldn't be marketed as an anti-theft device.
