The 16-pin OBD2 flat extension and splitter cable is a 30 cm Y-cable. You plug the male connector into the OBD2 port and get two female OBD2 connectors.

For example, this lets you connect a fixed dongle or HUD and a diagnostic reader at the same time. The flat cable makes it easy to route behind panels. The cable is passive: it contains no electronics.

PROS

✔Two connectors — Two devices at the same time.

✔Flat cable — Easy to conceal.

✔Passive — No driver or power supply required.

✔Protects the OBD2 port — Less plugging and unplugging.

CONSIDERATIONS

✕One tester at a time — Do not let two testers transmit at the same time.

✕Battery drain — Connected dongles consume power.

✕16-pin OBD2 only — Not for non-standard connectors.

✕Not for flashing — Use a direct connection when programming.

Applications and functionality

The cable is intended for car owners and workshops who want to connect two OBD2 devices at the same time.

Features

Splitting: One OBD2 port to two connectors.
Extension: 30 cm extra reach.
Concealed routing: Flat, fits behind panels.

How to use it

Connecting: Plug the male connector into the OBD2 port.
Connecting devices: Connect your devices to the connectors.
Ignition on: Switch the ignition on and start the diagnosis.
Finishing: Remove dongles if the car will be standing for a long time.

Special features and capabilities

What makes this splitter cable practical:

Dongle stays in, port stays free: Leave a dongle connected and still connect a tester.
Neat installation: Flat and easy to conceal.

Compatible devices and vehicles

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

Diagnostic readers: 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).

For coding or programming, it is better to use a direct connection to the OBD2 port, without a splitter.

Package contents

1x 16-pin OBD2 flat extension and splitter cable 2-piece (30 cm)

💡

Good to know: Never let two testers communicate through the splitter at the same time. Two devices sending requests at once can interfere with each other and produce error messages.
