OBD port Theft for Audi

[ammo-mcr]

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!

No fob so even if your keys are stolen the thieves are still snookered

Thanks for the help mate.

Which fuse is it on here? Not even sure which is panel 2 and which is panel 1?

There's a picture on the thread which tells you which is ST2 and ST1.
