The OBD-II (J1962) 16-pin connector is a pass-through 1:1 extension cable designed for relocating the OBD2 connector, providing port protection and making it easier to connect vehicle diagnostic tools, Bluetooth/Wi-Fi adapters, or OBD trackers. Its 60 cm length and flat construction are ideal for installation in confined spaces.

• 1:1 connection on all 16 pins – full retention of OBD-II signals and protocols
• J1962 Type A (12V) connectors – for passenger cars and light vehicles
• 60 cm length – optimized length for moving the connector to an accessible area
• Flat, low-profile design – easily fits under panels and reduces strain on the port
• OBD2 port protection for the vehicle – ideal for service shops, fleets, ride-sharing, telematics

Solutions it offers:

• Quick relocation of the OBD2 connector from under the steering wheel to a more convenient location (e.g. near the console or glove compartment).
• Safer connection/retention for OBD2 trackers and adapters that may be affected or disconnected.
• Dedicated extension for OBD2 diagnostic tools (Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, USB, or standalone).
