The 16-pin OBD2 flat extension cable extends your vehicle's standard 16-pin 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. All sixteen pins are wired 1:1, ensuring full compatibility with all OBD2 protocols and diagnostic tools.

Thanks to the flat ribbon cable design, the extension cable can be easily and discreetly routed under the dashboard, along panels, or through tight spaces. This is especially useful for permanently installing OBD2 dongles like GPS trackers, data loggers, or head-up displays, so they don't stick out and won't interfere with driving. Plus, the cable transfers the mechanical wear from plugging and unplugging to the extension itself, protecting your original vehicle port.

KEY BENEFITS

60 cm reach — enough distance to make a hard-to-reach OBD2 port easily accessible.
Flat, flexible ribbon design — routes discreetly behind dashboard panels for a clean installation.
All sixteen pins wired through — works with any OBD2 protocol; no signal lines are lost.
Protects your original port — shifts the wear from plugging and unplugging to the extension cable.

THINGS TO KNOW

Passive cable without switch — if you need power control, choose the switched variant instead.
Continuous power remains active — a connected dongle will continue drawing power; during long parking periods this may drain your battery.
Signal-sensitive tools — some ECU programming tools require a short, direct connection.
Standard 16-pin OBD2 only — vehicles with a non-standard diagnostic connector will need an adapter cable first.

Application and functionality

This cable serves as an extension for the OBD2 port and provides flexibility when using diagnostic equipment.

  • OBD2 port extension: makes it easy to connect diagnostic tools when the standard port is in an awkward location.
  • Flexible installation: the flat cable design is simple to install discreetly and route behind panels.
  • Port protection: reduces wear on the original OBD2 port by moving plug and unplug cycles to the extension cable.
  • Dongle management: ideal for permanently installing OBD2 dongles (GPS tracking, data logging, HUD) without them protruding.

Compatible vehicles

This OBD2 extension cable is universally compatible with vehicles featuring a standard 16-pin OBD2 (J1962) diagnostic port. This covers most petrol vehicles from 2001 onwards and diesel vehicles from 2004 that meet the EOBD standard.
