So i've disabled my OBD port on the car by switching the wire/pin arrangement behind the socket.....

Then we've got a male / female extension lead, spliced into its central loom and switched back the corrected pin wires that we modified on the car. So now when the car goes into the dealer or tuner I can simply give them the 'correcting' lead and it allows full functionality of the disabled OBD port!

1) I'll sleep easier at night!
2) The OBD socket on the car CAN NOT be read or interogated in any way!
3) I have an OBD wiring correction lead to keep at home / work in case the car needs to go to a dealers which makes the OBD readable again.
4) I am the only person who knows which wires / pins have been switched around.

If anyone else is interested in this my business will be offering it as a service in our workshop to all BMW owners. I own a garage which helps! http://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/ABPMotorsport
