The 16-pin OBD2 flat extension cable with switch extends your vehicle's standard OBD2 diagnostic port by 60 cm. The cable features a male 16-pin OBD2 connector on the vehicle side and a female 16-pin OBD2 port on the device side. What sets it apart is the integrated on/off switch, which can cut constant power supply (pin 16, +12 V) to your connected device.
The switch prevents your car battery from draining when OBD2 dongles or trackers draw power continuously — even when the ignition is off. This means a dongle or diagnostic tool can stay permanently connected without needing to unplug the cable. The flat ribbon cable design also tucks neatly behind dashboard panels for a clean, discreet installation.
KEY BENEFITS
THINGS TO KNOW
Application and functionality
This extension cable provides both OBD2 port extension and power management for your connected device.
- OBD2 port extension: makes the diagnostic port more accessible for connecting diagnostic equipment.
- Power control via switch: easily turn the +12 V constant power supply to a connected device on or off.
- Vehicle battery protection: prevents parasitic drain and battery depletion from permanently connected dongles or trackers.
- Flexible installation: the flat cable design makes it easy to hide discreetly behind dashboard panels.
Typical applications
- GPS tracker permanently connected: switch off the tracker during extended parking to prevent battery drain.
- Insurance or lease dongle: reduce parasitic drain without having to physically remove the dongle each time.
- Data logger during trips: activate the data logger only when needed, instead of 24/7.
- Bluetooth OBD2 dongle: switch off the dongle to prevent unwanted connections.
Compatible vehicles
This extension cable is universally compatible with virtually all vehicles featuring a standard 16-pin OBD2 diagnostic port. This includes most petrol vehicles from 2001 onwards and diesel vehicles from 2004 that comply with the EOBD standard.
