Any OBD power switch options? - Page 3 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Works great. I have it wrapped around the steering column and the switch sits flush on the left side. Not a permanent location, but it'll do for now. The flash makes it look scratched to hell, it's been cleaned up since the picture and no rub marks.

I received mine and it doesn't work at all.

Couple of guys using it no problem although I would not write with it

you wont need all 16 pins test lead for continuity if you dont get connectivity on 8 pins its stuffed

assume oft powers up just wont connect

If oft works without extension then obd fuse not blown

probe pin 16 and see if 12v suspect inline switch is stuffed. Or test continuity of pin16 end to end its should be switched by inline switch

obd pinouts

Received replacement which works fine. Used it for a few days and flashed via the switched cable, which also worked fine.

Which pins are used for comm? Canbus + and -?

mabviper · 09-04-2015, 05:50 PM

I just want to say that with our cars, the OBD2 port does support power during ignition. It's located at pin 8. It's only on when the car is on. What you can do is to buy an OBD2 extender and reroute its pin 8 (from the car) to pin 16 (connected to the OFT or any other OBD2 device).

Hope that helps.

Is this still the best cable for that price? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00UR5XBMW..._LEJKzbNV67VXA

I got it. Thanks!

How do you guys have yours? Like, where in the car and how are you tucking the cable?

TofuJoe · 08-16-2017, 05:05 PM

@eurominican - I used a velcro strap to secure the cable to some other wiring under the steering wheel area.
