Anti-Theft OBD2(ONLY) Lock, Universal OBD 2 Port Blocker with Security Key, Car Theft Prevention Device for OBDII(Fits Most Vehicles, Aluminum Alloy & POM)

For me – good enough
There are all kind of OBD2 port locks and at different price ranges. I wanted something that was quick, easy to install, and quick to remove – if you are not a thief.Thieves are using signal capture and relay devices to mimic key fob signals, cutting alarm wires connecting to the port, and programming a new key, all kinds of things. If a thief gets past the alarm system, has the knowledge and ability to program a car to accept a new key fob, they are probably going to get the car. Anything I can use to slow them down helps. Maybe just seeing a lock on the OBD2 port would make a thief stop and think “Do I want to deal with this now?” and maybe get them to just move on.I didn’t want an OBD2 lock that required tools, clamps, removable clips, etc. which can have complications and then you may have to cut the lock off. So when I saw this keyed anti-theft OBD2 lock I wanted to get it.The body looks good, not too big, and made of aluminum. It slips on, and with a turn of the key, hooks on to the port well. With my car the port is angled down so the lock does not stick out too far from the dash.A negative is the key/lock. The ad says High-Security Keys Included – Includes 2 double-groove keys (10,000+ variations) to prevent picking. Like the other reviewer noticed, my key also only has the one pin, used to align the key into the tubular lock, but the key has no groves or additional cuts. I expect the tubular lock actually has no stack pins inside. My key is numbered 506, (by the way the same key number as the keys in the ad) and I think they are all the same – one pin, no cuts, basically not a real key. So even though this key/lock is really simple, who is walking around to steal a car and has this simple key that is not a real key.Is it top of the line, no, close to the top, still no, but will this Anti-Theft OBD2 Lock from Xykzra slow a thief down, I hope it will. I am giving it a 3-Star rating because it says it is a lock but really not because they are all keyed the same.

Should slow down a thief a minute

Decent OBD2 port blocker, but not as secure as it could be
This review is for the Xykzra Anti-Theft OBD2 Lock. The product includes the OBD2 port blocker and two keys on a small metal ring.I tested this device on two Ford vehicles: a Gen3 Expedition and a Gen14 F-150. I was able to install the port blocker on both vehicles, but I did notice that the knee panel on the Gen3 Expedition presses against the top of the face of the port blocker when installed. This made it a bit more difficult to maneuver the port blocker into position so the lock would engage, but I was able to make it work.In terms of security, this port blocker feels like a solid piece with one exception: the part of the device that actually engages/locks the port appears to be made of plastic instead of metal. Checking the product description, I discovered that the device is made of “aluminum alloy and POM.” As it turns out, “POM” stands for polyoxymethylene which is a crystalline thermoplastic. Why the manufacturer didn’t make the most important part of the device out of metal is a mystery to me as it would have made the device much more secure.One additional head scratcher: when I install this port blocker on my vehicles, the ON/OFF labels on the face of the device are upside down. I think the OBD2 ports on most if not all vehicles have the long edge on top, so the manufacturer should have inverted the labels so they are oriented correctly when the device is installed. However, this issue doesn’t affect the operation of the device and isn’t too big of a deal.Overall, this is a decent port blocker and should help to deter the average thief, but a few additional improvements would make it excellent.

Solid Concept but Poor Fit for My Vehicle
I installed this OBD2 lock on my 2019 Ram 1500 as a simple theft deterrent. The build quality is actually quite good—it’s made from solid materials and definitely feels durable. I do think it would slow a thief down or at least make them think twice before trying to access the port.However, the design has one major flaw, at least for my truck. Once installed, the lock protrudes quite a bit below the dash. It’s positioned right where your leg might be during driving, and in the unfortunate event of a collision, it could pose a serious safety risk. It’s not something I’d want near my knee in a crash.It’s a clever idea and may work well for other vehicles with more clearance, but in my case, it’s just not practical. I won’t be using it on this truck.
