Any one know of any suppliers

Thanks in advance
My understanding is now the original key has to be present to programme a blank key via the OBD port.

I have not seen a port lock, but I've seen the OBD port moved, leaving a unconnected port in its place.

Edit: here is a thread on disabling the port
