OBDII port / GPS Anti Theft System

dcottam · 2010-02-01T17:27:42+0000

Can anyone tell me how to remove the OBD II port from the mount under the dash of my car? Is the OBD port separate from the mounting bracket or is it all one piece? I am thinking about installing a discrete GPS tracking anti-theft device, and the manufacturer offers an OBD II pass through cable as an option for wiring the unit. The idea is to: 1) Unmount the existing OBD II port from the under-dash mount. 2) Plug the pass-thru cable into the now un-mounted OBD port, stuffing the cables up under the dash out of the way. 3) Remount the new OBD II port end of the pass-thru cable to the existing mount under the dash. 4) The pass-thru cable has a takeoff to provide power to the GPS unit and to permit remote door unlock etc. Thanks David
