OBD2 Port - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Can someone tell me where the OBD2 port is on the AUS spec BRZ? TIA.

right under the steering wheel on the leftish side - take a look under with the flashlight and you cant really miss it

Cheers. I'm still waiting for mine. Just planning where to put my Kiwi BT cable when the car finally arrives. Left side is better than right. Is it up and out of the way of the clutch pedal?

Its pretty flushed inside (~30mm) so shouldnt get in the way i dont think unless you have a phat dongle

Welcome.

I assume you're talking about a PLX Kiwi Bluetooth setup. If you've used one before, I'd like to hear your thoughts on it.

Yes that's the one. It only arrived yesterday so not a lot to say. I have it in my MY07 Liberty GTB with a Nexus 7 running the Torque app. I need to sort the tablet mount and get the cable away from my right foot.

It seems to work well so far I just need to set it up properly. It will move across to BRZ next year.

What/where did you get this mount?
i been looking at the Nexus 7..

TonyJZX · 09-06-2012, 08:30 AM

I haven't got a mount yet - still looking for something. There are a few on Amazon but they won't sell to oz. I might have to get something made up. Lovin the tablet and Android btw.

The torque website suggested that the Chinese ones may be less reliable. And the Kiwi is from USA not NZ as you would think. I guess they just like the name.

yeah reason i'm saying that is that i've used a few off ebay and they work fine so paying SIX times more for the same thing...

Fair enough. It's only $100. Not a lot in the overall scheme of things.

Why have you had to buy a few?

TonyJZX · 09-06-2012, 11:42 PM

just trying to find the smallest one

some cars the thing hangs out and can be a pain

eg. US model 86 has it poking out over the throttle!
