OBDKey Support
First plug your OBDKey into your vehicle's OBD-II data link connector. This is usually under the steering wheel, in the centre console, under the handbrake or in the passenger side footwell. OBDKey will automatically detect the type of vehicle communications that are required. Install and run the supplied software on your PC, Pocket PC, Palm or mobile phone. The software will detect the OBDKey unit via Bluetooth or via USB automatically. The OBDKey software will then will access the vehicle’s on-board computers and will inform what problems may exist and will provide live readings from each of the vehicle sensors. Will work with all OBD-II compliant vehicles OBD stands for on-board diagnostics and defines the modern fuel managed vehicle's electronic interface system. The OBD interface is available on all OBD-II / EOBD compliant vehicles. 2001 and newer petrol cars sold in Europe are EOBD compliant. Diesel (compression ignition) vehicles were not required to support OBD until 2004. Some pre-2001 petrol vehicles and pre-2004 diesel vehicles have a 16-pin connectors but they may not be OBD-II or EOBD compliant. OBDKey also features full CAN bus compatibility with the latest vehicles from 2008 onwards.
16 Pin OBD Connector Locating your OBD connector can be a difficult task as vehicle manufacturers tend to hide away the socket. But it is worth knowing that the OBD connector will always be found inside the vehicle and within easy reach from the driver's set position. Check in the driver's foot well, under the steering wheel, behind panels in the dashboard fascia and the central area between the driver's seat and the passenger seat. Some connectors have been located behind ashtrays, under the passenger seat and even over by the passengers door. Once you find the OBD connector, check which pins which are present. The view above is shown looking into the connector, with the locating "bump" at the bottom. The connector must have pins 4, 5 for ground connections and pin 16 for 12 volt power supply from the vehicle battery. The following connections are dependent on the protocol in use by the vehicle:
Generally speaking the following vehicles have these protocols:
