Hi guys,
I'm wondering about using the Torque app (or similar) to add some real-time gauges to my stock 2015 JK Sahara.
(I'd like a Voltmeter for one.)

My question is regarding the OBD2 scanner. I don't own one, but from the pictures it looks like it would stick out and be in the way.
I have a manual transmission, and I don't want to kick this thing, or worse, break it off when shifting.

Any issues or concerns here?

Thanks for your help.
Dave

 

Heya JustCallMeDave - welcome to the forum !

’Nice to see another jeeper from Poco - with a manual transmission no less !!!

Check this unit out from Diablo Sport - this sounds like what you are looking for ...

PM me if ya want to kick tires over a few brewskies (I’ve got a 2016 / manual transmission).

Best,

My OBD2 adapter stuck out quite a bit and eventually I ended up accidentally doing what I should have done to begin with: Breaking off the plastic mounting ring and remounting all of it with a couple zip-ties to the adjacent brace. Now it's out of the way, and if I need to get to the port for other purposes, it's easily pulled from the zip-ties, then reinserted afterward. It really wasn't all that much in the way, despite my plus-sized adapter. One of the shorter ones would probably be just fine.

 

I have a bluetooth one and it's only about 1" - 1.5", way smaller, don't notice it at all.

obd jscan and obddash apps.

Thanks for your help guys.
