A Firewall for your car's black box

Recently Wired ran an article on the issue of leaving a car's "black box" or EDR completely vulnerable to inspection via the OBD port.

The device being developed will physically lock up your ODB port to avoid unwanted access to your car's computer. As many of you may remember, this type of device would have come in handy for a couple of BMW 1M Coupe owners out there.

Here is the link to the full article.

Interesting... But only $800 raised so far of $132K goal...

I have funded a couple of other projects at Idiegogo and may do this one as well.
