I guess you could ask.Īnother thing that can distinguish cheap OBD-II readers is how much power they consume while asleep. I think the Tactrix hardware is good, but I don't know necessarily if they're up for guaranteeing nothing bad can happen to your car when you use it. That's something I ought to think about I've considered buying a cheap J1962 extension cable to plug in there permanently, and do my repeated plugging/unplugging at the other end. I had one with unplated pins (or poorly plated, or plated with who-knows-what) that was rock-solid initially, but eventually got to the point where it would fill the air with immediate Uxxxx communication error codes just upon being plugged in to the car's diagnostic port.Īs soon as I replaced the connector with one that had gold-plated pins, those issues were history.Īnother thing that can happen, either from a lot of unplugging and replugging at the diagnostic port, or having something plugged in that bounces, is reduction of the spring force of the contacts, leading to possible errors. My only experience of that sort had quite simply to do with the quality of the connector pins in the device.
