It infuriates me, that BMW takes no ownership of what is clearly a grave security oversight. FI why aren't other than X5/6 owners contacted or offered a coding upgrade. Shame on you Bayern! |

I also live in Europe and couldn't sleep at night, waiting for the sound of broken glass so i moved my OBD port and installed a dead dummy port....now they have no choice but to open the door if they want to connect to the OBD and hopefully my alarm will go off buying me some time to get an law enforcer of some sort!!! Like a baseball bat!!!

Ohh man, sorry to hear this! I really feel for you. I hope you're well covered against theft. I know it doesn't bring much comfort but at least it won't be a total loss.

Very tempting idea. But, they could get furious and give more and bad damage to the car (that costed them) just because of this.

Hello all, sorry for keeping silent. It's been a busy week. I'm doing an MBA here in London, it keeps me away of this concern (which is a good thing, I didn't slept for two days and I kept hearing the sweet noise of that exhaust in my head).
Got some news from the police, They did not say anything except that, "there is few chance that you will find it. It's probably an order, and it's being shipped somewhere in Africa or any other place where they don't care about the papers. The alarm did not went off. They opened the car somehow. I am well covered by my insurance. I'm considering maybe buy a second had 1m with the same mileage approx as mine 35k Km, and turn it into a mean monster, More secure also. Anybody can MP me and suggest somewhere to install this: Dark grey wrap, glossy black rims, carbon fiber spoiler, KW 3 remotely commanded, AP or similar 6/4 calipers brakes, Akrapovic and OBD tune, Plus the most secure and illegal cyanure injecting anti theft system and a flame thrower. I tried to play it settled, I was nice, it was a discrete car. Now I will be mean. Lets call this car Phoenix.

Fixed!
This morning, my Dealer applied the official BMW fix for the OBD socket blank key programming problem. It took about 1hr although beforehand they said they might need it for upto 2 days "if it doesn't go smoothly".
They said it blocked access to the CAS network - if that means anything to anybody? |
