Then set it up again, this time just slide your hand along the inside of the drivers door, pry off the OBD cover and stick a cable on it like the JB3/JB4 OBD cable and show these buttholes how easy that was to do WITHOUT setting the alarm. Give them video proof it can be done...maybe that will help.

I'm moving my own OBD port!
Move it or (please dont crucify me) secure it with a small piece of plastic screwed into place covering the access port. In my case, the bargain basement Bimmer does not even have an alarm so, I guess why steal mine when you can get a M6 or Alpina B7?

The idea is to prevent simple and easy access to the OBD port with out taking at chance at voiding the warranty
