I used to have a '99 A3 1.8T years ago which I sold for a Subaru Impreza RB5 that had to go recently due to ULEZ charges in London and along with other circumstances, I'm looking at getting an S4, RS4 would be the dream but a little out of my grasp at the moment!
I'm eyeing up a 2010 S4 but then read up about all this OBD shenanigans which I've never had to deal with before as both the A3 and RB5 were so old, OBD port theft probably wouldn't be a thing!
Is the problem that the thieves are programming new keys via the port then using it to simply drive off, and not doing some signal boosting from my key fob to the car itself if it has keyless entry? I don't know if this model even has keyless entry or anything like that tbh.
