re OBD
I just watched a uTube video of a 1M being stolen in under 3 minutes!

They cut out the glass near the front, reached into the footwell and connected some electronic gizmo to the ODB. This re-coded a key fob, which they then used to enter the vehicle and drive off.

That was obviously a pro job....that electronic gizmo wouldn't be cheap....but anyway, what it highlights is what I'd consider to be quite a serious security flaw.\
Sorry, didn't mean to hi-jack this thread with a rant ... ops :-)
