Any OBD power switch options? - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Just got mine in the mail (from China)...obviously the estimated ship time was off lol. Plugged the product in and everything seems to be in order. This thing is awesome. Going to permanently mount the OFT near the left side air vent as a gauge.

As of right now, I would definitely buy again.

Mine is a couple days away, at least in the US

I think I got the wrong tracking number...did someone order from Benton Harbor, MI? I have your tracking number...unless USPS really screwed up. On the same note, does anyone have a tracking number destined for Charlotte, NC?

It works!

Seeing how there are KVM switches for PCs, that simplify usage of single keyboard-monitor-mouse set with multiple PCs/laptops, uniting that with people reporting that for OBD Y-splitters not exactly working for multiple devices connected with it .. i wonder who will make OBD-switch Y harness between multiple sources, so that one can with simple press of button choose whichever connected device he needs at the moment .. OFT/pedal-dance switch/OBD gauges/OBD dongle/whatever .. imho there might be market for such.

^^ this . . . . OBD2 switchable Y splitter cable . . . that would be nice.

Anyone that has the cable from amazon, where does the power button end up sitting? It looks like it's right in the area where your right knee would brace against the center console in a hard left hand corner?

Really just depends on where you mount the OFT. Mines mounted on the drivers side air vent, so I routed the wiring over the steering wheel. I doubt it'll go anywhere, but there's always double sided tape if need be.

This will do until I figure out a better way.

Just purchased the $7 amazon one linked previously. I suspect the OFT was the reason for a dead battery tonight. I left it plugged in and hadn't used the car for 30 hours. I usually leave it plugged all the time but I would use the car 15-20 hours later and didn't think much of it.

Yea, when I turn on my car 10-15 hours later, you can tell the battery was drained and doesn't turn over as good. Now, I just leave it plugged in all the time with the switch turned off. Just turn it on when I want to use it.
