So switching a data line would do the job?
Has anybody tried this product?
For VOLKSWAGEN VW AUDI VAG OBD GUARD DUMMY PORT SECURITY BLOCK LOCK ANTI THEFT | eBay
The aim of this device is to deter, frustrate and stop car criminals. Designed to transmit power to any OBD device but will block all data transfer therefore disabling the ability to start the car via the OBD port.

There is also the pedal lock that Transporter HQ offer.
My concern here is they aren’t what I would class as a “Visible Deterrent “.
Still if it slows the thief down they are worth their weight in gold.

but they may have already smashed into the van before realising its got that fitted?
so 10/10 for effectiveness . . . but 0/10 for deterrent.

Very true! It does come with a window sticker but I don’t know if this will just give them the opportunity to go away, research it and come back prepared
Smart criminals don’t get caught because they go for the safe and easy options (there are plenty of them), going home to get power tools to remove a pedal lock is going to get them caught.Very true!

Your biggest nightmare is the really dim criminal as they won’t worry, unfortunately the State keeps letting them out of prison.
thing is with these vans . . .
atm you need to keys to steel them. (unless you lift them)
so general break in and theft of contents from the back of the van is one thing . . .
but to actually steel and drive off they need the keys. . .
these types of security measures stop them driving away with the van - which implies they already have the keys.
this is where the Ghost works really well. - and stoplock and , and, and.
so a deterant is important. . . . . as is keeping they keys safe.
if they steel the keys - then at this point these things will have an effect.

Have a cheaper alternative / suggestion.
Steel plastic covered cable with hoops at the end, sometimes seen where motorbikes are secured to trees etc. That sort of thing about 2 metres long. Thread the cable through a door handle and under the brake pedal, over to the second handle and then over the steering wheel, taking as much slack up as possible and with a pretty good padlock secure the 2 ends. Now when someone wants to open either front door, will set off the horn, and can't gain access to the front. Now, they must break into the rear, devaluing their intended resale. But also must carry a pretty heavy bar / wire / padlock cutter. The type that's about a metre long. Not many of those in your arse pocket. Very visible through the window, and would be a cheap deterrent at under £70.

Woof!Don't really know what to say!
There’s either more deviants out there than I’m aware of or it’s the better option to a 3 grand puppy.
This was my thinking exactly, that’s why I have a Ghost and a Disklok.
The problem is that I suspect a lot of people (inc. me) keep the keys to their Stoplocks etc. on the same keyring as their van keys. Mine aren't easy to get to without breaking into the house and making a lot of noise in the process but, just in case, I've got the Ghost as well. It also helps to live in a relatively quiet and low crime rate part of the country - no guarantees that the sh1theads aren't going to strike but way less chance than living in a city.
