P3Cars - custom molded stealth diagnostic connector

RiXst3r · 04-11-2011, 08:05 PM

We wanted to elegantly and professionally tackle the issue of protruding diagnostic connections, for products like our v2 gauge that use this connector during daily driving.

We designed and had custom molded cables to specifically fit inside and behind the area where the diagnostic connector lives, completely hidden from view.

Although it added significant delays to the release of the new v2 gauge waiting for these cables, our attention to detail could not overlook this important aspect of keeping things looking OEM.

Here are a few photos to show how easy it is to install this connector completely stealth.

Popping it off is easy as well if you need to use the port for something else.

Very clean look!!

A proper looking setup. Very OEM looking. That is ultimately a huge selling point for me anyway. I'm looking forward to getting my device in the post. Any ETA when they will be shipping out?

so for this gauge to work, you just connect it to the OBD port?

Very nice, great work!

Is this connector going to be included with all gauge purchases?

It's partially correct. For N54 engines, you need to install an additional boost sensor which is really easy to do. The rest of of the information comes from the DME.
