Perhaps, Alexander, but an 'of the' is very Denglisch - 'the OBD protection' is English
neutral Björn Vrooman : I think you changed the meaning of the sentence. The OBD doesn't safeguard against anything. You need a device ("Absicherung") to secure the OBD port/connection against unauthorized access. Cf https://www.protectavan.co.uk/content/ecuobd-protection-devi...
