PROPRIETARY (PATENT N° 0000281664)
The OBD socket, in the common uses, only allows to read the information stored in the control units; however, car makers and car dealers also perform more complex operations, such as reprogramming their own access key.
Car makers provide for 8 possibilities of reproduction of the keys, but they provide the customer only with 2 coded keys, with the purpose of leaving free the entries for a possible reproduction of other keys.
HOW A CARJACKING TAKES PLACE
The prowlers, once they have opened the car and identified the OBD socket, through an electronic device, reproduce the original key, accessing all the functions of the car (including engine start).
The system used by the thieves resorts to the OBD socket for diagnosis, an entry point to the on- board electronic circuits, that as a result of the European regulations must be accessible to all the repairers, including self-employed ones. It is fairly easy to find the equipment to interface with electronics. According to a survey the systems are on sale also on the internet.
