Key Features
Bend the Extension to the Working Angle
Goose-Neck Flexible Shape
The bendable cable body can be adjusted and positioned in advance, helping users connect scan tools without repeatedly bending down or searching under the dashboard.
16-Pin OBD2 Extension Connection
Suitable for vehicles equipped with a standard OBD2 16-pin diagnostic interface, including many gasoline and diesel vehicles with OBD2 diagnostic ports.
The connector follows the OBD-16 interface structure with a double-row socket design for standard OBD2 diagnostic ports.
Reinforced Copper Wire Core
The cable uses a thickened built-in copper wire core with metal reinforcement to improve durability, conductivity, and pull resistance compared with basic OBD extension wires.
Stable Diagnostic Connection
The multi-thread data connection design helps provide smoother signal transmission and better anti-interference performance during OBD2 diagnostic work.
Durable Nylon Flat Cable
The high-strength nylon flat cable is designed to be tough, soft to touch, bendable at different angles, and resistant to common daily wear.
Protected Outer Layer
The cable is described as waterproof, scratch resistant, heat resistant, and cold resistant. Avoid immersion, sharp edges, and direct contact with hot vehicle parts.
OBD-16 Diagnostic Connectivity
The double-row 16-pin male and female connectors extend a standard OBD2 connection to compatible diagnostic equipment.
Less Reaching Under the Dashboard
Position the extension within reach before testing, making scanner connection easier from beside the driver’s seat.
Easier Access Position
Move the diagnostic connection closer to your hand so repeated plugging, unplugging, or Bluetooth dongle connection becomes easier during testing.
Passive OBD2 Extension Cable
Routes the existing 16-pin male-to-female connection to the stated length so the scanner or accessory can be positioned more conveniently; available functions still depend on the vehicle, pinout, connected hardware, software, and protocol support.
Keep Controls Clear
Do not route or leave the cable where it can block brake, accelerator, clutch, steering, or seat movement.
Port Clearance Check
Some oversized dongles or vehicle trim designs may require extra clearance. Confirm space around your OBD2 port if needed.

How to Use
Connect, Route and Check Communication
Confirm The Vehicle Port
Plug the male OBD2 connector into the vehicle’s standard OBD2 16-pin diagnostic socket.
Identify the exact vehicle connector, year, and pinout; inspect it for damage.
Confirm The Tool Chain
Verify the scanner, software, protocol, module, task, and any authorization independently of the cable.
Connect Safely
Follow the vehicle and tool procedure, align connectors correctly, and never force a mismatched plug.
Route Without Strain
Position the cable away from pedals, sharp edges, heat, moving parts, and pinched trim.
Verify Communication
Run the intended read-only connection check first. If communication changes, remove added devices or the extension and compare direct connection.
Safety & Compatibility
Check Pin Fit, Routing and Power Limits
Passive Hardware
Extends the physical diagnostic connection while the connected scanner provides diagnostic functions.
Pinout And Fit
Match the connector and pinout to the vehicle port and diagnostic tool before connection.
Vehicle Movement
Keep all cable and device parts clear of pedals, steering, seat tracks, doors, and driving controls.
Electrical Load
Do not attach unknown or high-current devices to vehicle diagnostic power. Follow the vehicle and tool current limits.
Disconnect If Unstable
If a tool drops connection, overheats, resets, or changes vehicle behavior, stop and return to a known direct connection.

FAQs
Connector, Fit and Function Questions
Is This A Diagnostic Scanner?
No. This product is an OBD2 male-to-female extension cable. It extends the vehicle diagnostic port to a more convenient position, but it does not read codes or perform diagnostic functions by itself.
Will It Work With Launch Easydiag, THINKDIAG, THINKDRIVER, Or ELM327?
It is designed as a standard OBD2 16-pin extension cable and can be used with compatible OBD2 diagnostic tools or adapters, including Launch Easydiag, THINKDIAG, THINKDRIVER, ELM327, and similar devices. Confirm your device uses a standard OBD2 connector before ordering.
Does It Fit Every Vehicle?
It is suitable for vehicles with a standard OBD2 16-pin diagnostic interface. Vehicle trim space, port depth, and surrounding clearance may vary, so check your OBD2 socket position if the port area is very narrow.
Which Length Should I Choose?
20cm and 30cm options. Choose a shorter length for a clean nearby extension, or choose a longer length when the OBD2 socket is deeply hidden under the dashboard. Confirm the selected variant before ordering.
Can I Leave The Cable Connected In The Car?
The cable can help keep the diagnostic connection easier to reach, but it must be routed safely. Do not leave the cable or attached adapter where it may interfere with pedals, steering, seat movement, or normal driving operation.
What Is Included In The Package?
The listed package includes one AUTOOL flexible OBDII male-to-female cable and a retail box. No extra accessories are listed. The cable length depends on the selected 20 cm or 30 cm option.
Is The Cable Waterproof And Heat Resistant?
The outer protection is described as waterproof, scratch resistant, heat resistant, and cold resistant. It is still recommended to avoid liquid immersion, sharp edges, strong pulling, and direct contact with hot vehicle parts.
Does This Cable Add Diagnostic Functions?
No. It only changes physical reach, routing, and connector shape. Available functions depend on the vehicle, pinout, scanner, software, protocol, and authorization.
