[Ovmsdev] OBD-II Cables

[Nikki Gordon-Bloomfield]

Just confirmed with my LEAF: the ODBII port is oriented such that the current cable gets in the way of the driver's knees. At the moment I think the cable exits nearest to pin 1and pin 9, but for LEAF drivers, it would be advantageous for the cable to exit nearer to pins 8 and 16…

Nikki.
