The 16-pin OBD2 extension cable (30 cm) extends the car's OBD2 port by 30 cm. One end has a male plug for the car, the other end has a female connector for your diagnostic tool, VCI or dongle.

Useful when the OBD2 port is deep under the dashboard, and it protects the car's port from wear caused by repeatedly plugging and unplugging. The cable is passive: it contains no electronics.

ADVANTAGES

✔30 cm extra reach — Easier access to the port.
✔Protects the OBD2 port — Less plugging and unplugging.
✔Passive — No driver or power supply required.
✔Compact — No excess cable.

POINTS TO NOTE

✕16-pin OBD2 only — Not for non-standard connectors.
✕Depends on your tester — The cable does not add any functions.
✕Short — For greater distance, use a longer cable.
✕Not for flashing — For programming, it is better to connect directly.

Applications and functionality

The cable is intended for car owners and workshops who want to make the OBD2 port easier to reach or protect it.

Features

  • Extension: 30 cm extra reach.
  • Port protection: Less wear on the car's port.
  • Universal: For any OBD2 device.

How to use it

  1. Connect: Insert the male plug into the OBD2 port.
  2. Connect device: Connect your tester or dongle to the female side.
  3. Ignition on: Switch the ignition on and start the diagnosis.

Special functions and capabilities

What makes this extension cable practical:

  • Fixed connection: Leave the cable in place and switch at the cable end.
  • Passive connection: Works with any OBD2 device.

Compatible devices and vehicles

The cable works with devices and cars with a standard 16-pin OBD2 connector (J1962):

  • Diagnostic tools: Testers, tablets and VCIs.
  • Dongles: Bluetooth and Wi-Fi adapters, data loggers.
  • HUDs: Head-up displays via OBD2.
  • Cars: Petrol from 2001, diesel from 2004 (EU).

Good to know: Leave the extension cable in the OBD2 port and switch only at the cable end. This way the car's port does not wear from repeated plugging and unplugging.
