    How about removing fuse bf10 for the obd connector? Obviously when you park up and when leaving the vehicle.

    Is that gen flapper? Sounds like a cheaper alternative. I’m guessing most of these OBD/key cloning scumbags will do a runner after the alarm goes off and their little OBD device (that makes up for their lack of academic achievements) fails to disable the alarm.

    Don't see why not. Although the wiring diagram I just looked at was model year 2010-2015. I shall see what fuse is listed from 2015 onwards and post.

    Just took it off trim and got small extension odb cable and connected it to that and then the other end is now somewhere else in the car. The original connector is deep inside the dash trim now. Yes it could be pulled out to connect the dongle to it but you'd need to remove a fair amount of trim to do it and I don't think theives would take that amount of time

    Maybe this is a dumb question, but why on earth would Audi or any other car manufacturer put something like disabling an alarm/immobilizer on a port anyone with a bit of tech knowledge and £20 for an ebay wire can use?

    Lets say I lost my keys and need Audi to break in and cut me a new set, that the sort of thing I'm quietly happy when they tell me it a big job and going to take a while and needs car to be taken to a garage...

    I use Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser - and set it to start but not engage gear. Works a treat.
