The 16-pin OBD2 flat extension cable with switch (60 cm) extends the OBD2 port by 60 cm and features an on/off switch for the power supply to the connected device (pin 16, +12 V).

This allows a dongle, tracker or HUD to stay permanently connected, while you switch off the power when the car is parked. This prevents a flat battery. The flat cable makes it easy to tuck away behind trim panels.

BENEFITS

✔On/off switch — Switch off the power supply to the device.
✔Prevents flat battery — No parasitic drain when parked.
✔Flat cable — Easy to tuck away.
✔60 cm additional reach — Device in a convenient location.

POINTS TO NOTE

✕16-pin OBD2 only — Not for non-standard connectors.
✕Depends on your tester — The cable does not add any functions.
✕Operating the switch — Switch it on and off yourself.
✕Not for flashing — For programming, it is better to connect directly.
