Why don't you use Onstar's theft protection?

Because it can be overridden & disabled so easily, within seconds.

Edit: it fits tight. Not loose. Only loose feel as obd is mounted loose. Last edited by VR Baron; 01-17-2024 at 09:45 AM. |

Thanks -looks good. Does it stick out much when installed? Also, do they have a mechanism to get a spare key? I always get nervous locking up important things and having only 1 key lol . . .

It doesn’t stick out much more than the wall thickness over the front of the obd. I don’t recall if you can get another key. I think you can if you lost one. You would have to check with them or look on Amazon

BEM item does appear (visually) to be pretty solid; wouldn't mind hearing about backup keys.
Baron, funny that you first mentioned it seemed loose, because I also noticed that it's the *OBD* thing, itself, that is loose within its mounting hole...I thought I messed something up when I connected my Valentine1 to the "Savvy" OBD-powered adapter.

This OBD lock is selling for $24. It is a 3D-printer product, but it seems adequate for my purposes so far:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BTW92ZPS...language=en-US It also allows some front to back movement, so I was thinking about inserting a thin plastic shim to see if I can eliminate the slack. |

The Canadian distributor just emailed this afternoon, and said the Keetec Rider system may cause the remote start to not work. They are going to test on a GMC Yukon and will let me know.

I'd be inclined to put the lock on a dummy plug. That way, if they do any damage trying to break it open... that's okay. If you lose the key, also okay. And it tends to make it the focus/target by falsely advertising it as something worth protecting, distracting from the real port. |
