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
✔On/off switch — cuts pin 16 (+12 V) to stop battery drain from dongles.
✔60 cm reach — gives you enough length to access hard-to-reach OBD2 ports.
✔Flat ribbon cable design — hides easily behind dashboard panels for a professional look.
✔All 16 pins connected — compatible with any OBD2 protocol; only pin 16 is switchable.
THINGS TO KNOW
✕Only pin 16 is switched — the data connection stays active; only the constant power is interrupted.
✕Standard OBD2 required — won't work with vehicles that have a non-standard diagnostic connector.
✕Signal-sensitive tools — some ECU programming tools require a short, direct connection.
✕Buffer dongles — some lease dongles continue sending data briefly thanks to an internal buffer.
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.

💡
Good to know: Some lease dongles continue sending data briefly thanks to an internal buffer even after power is cut via the switch. If in doubt, check your dongle's specifications if you want to completely stop the data connection.
