Would a combination lock be better?
Years ago, in the U.S. some people installed a lock and chain on the hood to protect their batteries.
There are accessory hood locks available for some American vehicles.
I never thought about it before, but relocating the battery under a seat or to the trunk is also a battery theft-deterrent to some degree.

He needed to open the hood because the battery needed to be charged.
You provided the wrong cavity number; number 16 is battery +.
But even with the correct cavity number, there is risk of someone making an incorrect connection with the diagnostic connector. There is a better way to recharger the battery.

And I doubt that applying 12+ volts to a communication circuit that operates at less than 2.5 volts would accomplish that.
You are right, pin 16. I made those adapters over 20 years ago.
YOU need to go back and correct your OP before someone try’s that, a new reader down the road (tomorrow, 5 years from now, whenever) might not read any further and damage their vehicle off your incorrect advise… Or even just one more bad piece of advise corrupting AI…
So please take a minute and correct your statement…
