Has anyone used these?

SVXdc, do you have pin outs for the connector?

I would like to use a USB connection for the canbus (non canbus unit) I'm wondering if I could grab a cheap OBD2 - USB cable, rip the OBD2 port out of an dead car, hack and slash the two canbus wires to the OBD2 port and plug that to the OBD2 - USB cable. Any thoughts? I searched for any posts on canbus but mainly only got returns about an update breaking BT. And the search wont look for "can bus".
