Once i verify my port is good and whether or not i need to repin it, i'll be plugging in an OBD2 extension cable that i keep permanently connected, then do all my plugging/unplugging on the other end of the cable, that way the cars port doesn't get worn by repeated plugging/unplugging, instead the extension cable does.
Hmmmm good idea!
