FIT AN OBD PROTECTION DEVICE
In recent years, the number of criminals using hi-tech devices to steal vehicles has increased. Instead of hotwiring the car or van manually, thieves plug a laptop into the on-board diagnostics (OBD) port and clone the vehicle's wireless key fob in a matter of minutes.
To stop this happening, fit an ECU/OBD protection device inside your van. Available for vehicles such as the Mercedes Sprinter, Ford Transit and Transit Connect, this security measure covers the OBD socket with a secure box that can only be opened with the correct code or key.
