Lost OBD cable or adapter

Lost the small adapter that comes with OBD protection, or do not know where the OBD port is? We come to your address and find the port.

Send us the make, model and year and your city.

We work in several cities in Serbia. Tell us your city.

The factory OBD port under the dashboard close up: 16 holes in two rows, the edge of the trim below

What happened to you?

  • You lost the adapter

    Without it the port does not work, neither at the workshop nor at the inspection. We come to your address.

    Inspection in a few days? Call us before the inspection.

  • The workshop cannot read the car

    The previous owner may have fitted OBD protection. We come and find the port.

    See what is under the steering wheel

You got a short cable with the car and do not know what it is for? It may be the adapter. Send us a photo: WhatsApp or 067 774 1606

What you see under the steering wheel

Look under the steering wheel, on the driver side, and find the picture that looks like what you see.

  • The factory OBD port with 16 holes in a recess of the dashboard, next to the steering column; the cigarette lighter below

    The port is there, but diagnostics does not work

    It may work only with an adapter, which is lost or you did not get with the car.

  • In the trim opening there is a rectangular port with two rows of holes, not a trapezoid like OBD; the wires to it wrapped in black tape

    There is a port of a different shape in that spot

    Protection with a special port has probably been fitted. The workshop device plugs into it only through an adapter.

  • The same spot under the dashboard: smooth trim, no port visible

    There is nothing in that spot

    The port has probably been moved to a hidden place. We come and find it.

Not sure what you see? Send a photo of that spot: WhatsApp or 067 774 1606

How much it costs when the OBD adapter is lost

We'll tell you the price when you call

Theft protection systems differ, so there is no single price. Work starts only when you agree.

Payment
Cash or through a company.
Where
Where you are: home, work or a car park. Tell us your city. We agree the place and time by phone.

The price depends on

  • What protection is in the car and where the port is.
  • Whether the adapter is missing or you do not know where the port is.
  • Whether you also want our protection.

Important

  • Keep the adapter anywhere, just not in the car. If it is in the car, the thief gets it together with the car.
  • Take it to the workshop, the vehicle inspection and on longer trips. Without it the workshop cannot read the car.

What “relocated OBD” means

The OBD port is where the workshop plugs in the diagnostic device. On some cars a thief can program a new key through the OBD port. That is why protection is fitted.

Relocated OBD means that such protection has been fitted. The port is in another place or works only with a special adapter.

Three kinds of OBD protection

With some protection systems the factory port is removed, and a port of a different shape goes in its place. The wires in it are in a different order. The adapter is a short cable that puts them back in the right place, so the workshop device plugs into it.

With other systems the port is only moved to a hidden place. Then it is enough to find it.

With our protection the factory port stays intact and in its place. When you put the adapter in the hidden port, the workshop uses the factory port as before. OBD port relocation with us costs 100 € for every model. More about OBD port relocation

Questions

How much does it cost when the adapter is lost?
Theft protection systems differ, so there is no single price. We tell you the price when you call. Work starts only when you agree.
Can I buy a new OBD cable in a shop?
Not for protection with a port of a different shape. In every such system the wires are in a different order, so the adapter from one does not fit another.
Where is the factory OBD port?
On most cars it is under the steering wheel, on the driver side. On some models it is in the centre console or in the glovebox. More about where the OBD port is
