hello everyone i am new here, can anyone tell me if this subject of obd port theft has been discussed on audi cars?

i have purchased a 2014 audi s3 and im not sure are these very easily to steal via obd port like the bmw and ford?

what steps can i take to prevent or delay the attempt of theft on my car. I know if these criminals really want something they prob just walk into the house and take the keys but if the car is parked elsewhere like in a car park or at work etc what steps can i take...

many thanks in advance for your time and advise
 
Remove the 2 fuses that power the OBD2 port from the fuse box.

Easy, takes 2 minutes and its FREE. Beats any of this box stuff etc.

its a must do mod for anyone buying a new audi!
