Noticed in some areas it doesn't give a googlemaps url when requesting absolute address (but you do still have the general region - 200 yard radius) and when calling drops in a "," so the link doesn't take you anywhere. Going to see if I can sort that out!

Remove Fuel Pump Fuse ??
DIY/ Aftermarket options of making your BMW secure - another suggestion
Is removing the (2 ??) fuel pump fuses an option or would it cause problems if they tried to start it ? |

Good question ^^
Also has anyone fitted a louder siren? What wires do you have to splice? Having heard mine this weekend I doubt it would put fear into a bunny. check this link... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMW-E60-E6...041906d&_uhb=1 Finding hard to believe this whisper of a siren is fitted to RR's Last edited by Dizzle; 11-12-2012 at 08:46 AM.. |

Having recently purchased my car and having had a good read of this thread, I'd like to do something about my OBD.
Does anyone know of somewhere around South East London that I could take the car to get the port moved? DIY on the car is not one of my strong points unfortunately! |

From what I was reading, it didn't seem to be clear cut that the security update completely resolves the problem. Will also check out that lock as well. |

If your car is built after 03/2007, then they should update your car. You can contact them on this or this number to confirm. You may fancy reading this thread.

Referring to the topic "Add a switch to cut power supply to coilpack", what would happen if the thief tries to start the car multiple times? I know that the car engine will not fire if the coil pack has no electricity, but does it flood the engine with petrol unnecessarily?

Thanks for this post, quite shocked at what can be done nowadays to steal cars, hadn't even heard of OBD theft before this
Ima get started on some of these ASAP Which would you say is best to do first or should be a priority if time / money is an issue |

Moving OBD port and warranty
Shortly I'm due to pick up my 2009/59 E92 330d from the dealer.
I've already asked the dealer about this problem and, predictably, they said not to believe everything you read on Internet forums. Also they said that they have the BMW technical notes that show what the fixes are to stop OBD port theft. Some forums appear to imply that the fix just stops the remote window unlocking and has nothing to do with the OBD port. If so, the car is still vulnerable to the window being smashed and the OBD being accessed that way. I asked about moving my OBD port so that I'm 100% sure it's not vulnerable and asked if this would potentially invalidate my warranty. The salesman said he was unsure, but that it could if I started moving the OBD port myself. Are there any questions I can ask the dealer so that I am sure that they're doing their best to sell me a car which has at least some level of protection against OBD theft? Can I put any pressure on them to move the OBD port themselves for me so as not to invalidate my warranty? Any advice appreciated! |

Ask them to update your car modules to avoid any theft. There is a lot of confusion around what is security update and how it works? I will try to explain. There are two modules which should be updated for the security purpose; 1- CAS: Vital: With updated software, you cannot clone a new key, till you insert you ket into the slot. 2- FRM: Important but not mandatory: With the updated software, it avoids the dropping of the window with the key/ other methods. A good dealer should update both of these, but in common practice, I have seen some of them updating just CAS. HTH.

Are you aware if there are any instances of OBD port style theft occurring *after* the CAS security update has been applied? |

Not to my knowledge.
I always say, get the security updates as they are free and to be on safe side, hide the obd. You never know that those gangs can find new methods.
