In an age where vehicle theft is increasingly sophisticated and digital tampering is a growing concern, securing every vulnerability is paramount. One often-overlooked access point is your vehicle’s OBDII port. VTT proudly introduces the OBD-LOCK, a robust and innovative Obdii Port Block designed to provide unparalleled protection against unauthorized access, keeping your car safe from theft, unwanted tuning modifications, and key cloning.
Understanding the OBDII Port Threat: Why You Need an OBD Port Block
The On-Board Diagnostics II (OBDII) port is a crucial interface for vehicle diagnostics and maintenance. However, this convenient access point can also be exploited. Thieves utilize OBDII ports to bypass security systems, program new keys, and even steal vehicles outright. Furthermore, unauthorized technicians or dealerships could potentially access and alter your vehicle’s ECU (Engine Control Unit) settings without your consent, impacting performance and potentially voiding warranties.
Recent vehicle theft statistics paint a stark picture. In California alone, thousands of vehicles are stolen annually, and across the USA, the numbers are equally alarming.

This is where the VTT OBD-LOCK steps in. It acts as a physical OBDII port block, preventing any unwanted connection and safeguarding your vehicle from these digital threats.
Introducing the VTT OBD-LOCK: Version 2 – Enhanced Security and Ease of Use
We’ve listened to feedback and are excited to present Version 2 of the VTT OBD-LOCK. Completely redesigned for superior performance and user-friendliness, this OBD port block offers enhanced security without compromising the integrity of your OBDII port. The new design eliminates port penetration and features a redesigned thread style to prevent stripping, ensuring a stronger, easier installation and absolutely no damage to your vehicle’s diagnostic port.
Crafted from billet 6061-T6 aluminum, the VTT OBD-LOCK is built for durability and resilience. Once installed, it effectively renders your OBDII port inaccessible without the proprietary VTT tools. This robust OBDII port block is an essential security upgrade for any vehicle owner concerned about:
- Theft Prevention: Prevent thieves from connecting devices to clone keys or disable security systems via the OBDII port.
- Tune Protection: Safeguard your custom ECU tunes from being overwritten or altered by dealerships or unauthorized technicians.
- Privacy and Control: Maintain control over who accesses your vehicle’s diagnostic system, ensuring your data and settings remain secure.
Universal Fitment and Unique Security Features
Extensive testing has confirmed that the VTT OBD-LOCK is designed for universal fitment, compatible with virtually every OBDII port on the market, from high-performance European models to American trucks. Whether you drive a BMW or a Ford F-150, this OBD port block is engineered to fit. In the unlikely event you encounter a fitment issue, our team is ready to assist.
To maximize security, VTT employs a unique approach to tamper-proof screw heads. For every 200 OBD-LOCK units manufactured, we utilize five distinct screw head designs. This means only 40 OBD-LOCKs worldwide share the same head design, making unauthorized removal exceptionally difficult. Furthermore, with each batch of 200 units, we redesign the screw heads and corresponding tools, ensuring an ever-evolving security system and making it virtually impossible for thieves to acquire the necessary tools. Each OBD-LOCK is shipped with a randomly selected head design, further enhancing security through unpredictability.
