Quick update:

The assembly, bench testing and testing on my G37 are done and everything is worked perfect!!

The cables have been shipped to Eugene for him to test and approve....or test and I re-work them :)

There are 3 different types:
(1) ~12" "relocate"
(2) ~1" Slim "plug in place"
(3) ~13" "relocate" with pass through. Allows

These special cables will only power the EcuTek (or any OBD scanner) when the engine is running.

Will these be sold through yourself or Eugene? What are you looking for approximate cost on the 1" plug in place?

Give me give me. :D

The pass through will be ideal, this way the vehicle can be plugged into the say the ecutek BT unit or ecutek cable and at the same time you can have another device plugged in like a dyno or dealer scan tool - makes for some very good logging / diagnosis opportunities.

Another benefit is for those running obd2 powered trackers for insurance, this can allow you to power both at the same time and have them both be on the same network.

I'll just need one device plugged in at a time. The plug in place will work well for me

Just a quick update... There was a delay on my end, and Eugene only received them last week (mid-July)

He is going to test them and provide me with feedback and then they will be available.

ive never noticed the keyfob range reduction since I just push the doorhandle button anyway. But I would be interested in this product to eliminate the battery drain from leaving the dongle in.

Chiming in late but I have definitely noticed this as well.

I'll be tuning my car in the not-too-distant future so it'll be interesting to see if I experience this as well. I, pretty much, always use the door/trunk buttons and it sounds like there's mixed experience there.

If you keep the ecutek dongle plugged into the obd 2 port than you'll probably experience it

So far it seems to be normal but I'll see how it goes. Interestingly, when I got it set up I ran a DTC scan and was pretty freaked out that there were 11 codes. I looked up several and they were for ABS voltage issues and some other stuff. I cleared all the codes this morning and scanned again at lunch and, so far, nothing has returned. Hopefully, they're all old!

First shipment of units are in. If you want one , PM me (US sales only). For Canada sales please contact Frank.

Ordered :tiphat:

I received and installed the adapter. Works perfect! I wasn't able to get pics of it installed but I do have a couple pics of the cable and plugs. Here are the steps for installation:

1) Remove 2 phillip's screws on existing obd 2 port bracket under dash and pull bracket and cable down below dash.

2) The obd plug easily unsnaps from the bracket with a small screwdriver. Remove the bracket.

3) Snap the plug marked (new obd 2 port) shown in the attached pic into the bracket. It snaps in just like OEM.

4) The plug marked (to OEM harness) shown in the attached pic plugs into the OEM obd cable port

5) Plug your Ecutek dongle into the port marked (switched) as shown in the attached pic.

6) Tuck cabling up under dash and re-install bracket.

You now have an unswitched obd port just like OEM installed in the OEM bracket and an Ecutek dongle plugged in full time that only functions with the ignition in the ON position.

I tested it from multiple distances and it worked perfect everytime.

Thank you Eugene and Frank

Awesome... looks like I can get one of the BT dongles now :tup:

I'm glad you liked it and that it fixed your problem.
On a different note, it was kind of weird (and really cool!!!) to read a review on one of my products, but I sure enjoyed it :) Thanks!

It works beautifully. My car is in a large warehouse. I walked outside and down the road a ways and it still worked perfectly.

I tagged both yourself and Eugene on IG also

I purchased a BT dongle and harness from Eugene last week.

The interesting thing is I am having absolutely zero impact to the fob range when I leave the BT dongle plugged directly into the OBDII port without the harness extension. Fob range is well over 150 feet.

Your cars a freak :rofl2: When I had the dongle plugged in, the fob wouldn't hardly ever work if I had the fob in my pocket :tup:

:nutswinger:

I would also like to purchase one of these.

Last week I sent a bunch of the cables to Eugene (aka ByThaBay)
PM him if you are still interested :)

Hey folks, the units are in and ready to ship! PM me if you need one.
