IGLA-Author OBD2 Port Blocker
$499 Installed (All Parts and Labour are Included in This Price)
Modern vehicle thieves don't just use slim jims or smash windows; they use high-tech programmers plugged directly into your vehicle’s OBD2 diagnostic port to bypass the factory alarm and clone a blank key fob in under 60 seconds. While the IGLA Immobilizer keeps your engine dead in its tracks and the Author Tele Compass gives you real-time global tracking and remote control, the Author OBD2 Block seals the very physical vulnerability hackers target first. By installing a digitally paired, electromechanical relay completely hidden behind your dashboard, this system fully cuts off communication to the vehicle's onboard computer. The diagnostic line is only restored when your unique, personal hardware dongle is physically plugged in. It’s the final, invisible layer of a true triple-threat defense system, ensuring that without your explicit permission, absolutely nothing gets into or out of your car's brain.
Why the Author OBD2 Block is Essential
Why the Author OBD2 Block is Essential
- Defeats Electronic Key Cloning: Stops thieves dead in their tracks by cutting off access to the diagnostic port, completely preventing them from programming a new key fob or overriding the factory software.
- Active Digital Protection: Unlike easily picked mechanical metal locks or caps, this is a true cyber-security upgrade that digitally severs the CAN data bus line behind the dash, leaving the port dead to any unauthorized scanning tool.
- Stealth, Seamless Operation: The miniature relay is hidden deep inside your factory wiring harness, making it completely invisible to a criminal. It automatically rearms and blocks the line just 20 seconds after your authorized hardware dongle is removed.
- Zero-Friction Maintenance: When you take your vehicle in for a routine service or emission testing, simply pop your personal, pocket-sized dongle into the port to temporarily restore the diagnostic line for your mechanic.
- The Ultimate Layered Defense: Seamlessly pairs alongside your IGLA Immobilizer (digital engine lockout) and Author Tele Compass (4G tracking and telematics) to deliver a true, multi-layered security ecosystem that stops modern tech-driven car theft from every single angle.
