Obdeleven standard help

Following this as it's the most bizarre thing.. fwiw the OBD port on my 2019 is also pink but no wings or tabs.

Yeah I'm thinking that's the best idea at this point. They did ask me if I wanted to pay $800 for a lifetime gps system so maybe that is related to it?

I can't see how that would be related. Unless you use navigation a lot I would just use Google maps.

Sorry I meant to say the dealer gave me an option to have what they called an "advanced monitoring service" like LoJack but it was a different company. I didn't want that $800 option.

I suspect that the add that crap to every car on the lot and then try to sell it to you.

I'm not convinced that your OBD port is too large. Most ports are somewhat angled - I suspect it is the same size - just a different design.

What about the ears?

My thought is that it's a dummy obd and it's connected to the real obd2 port which I attached a picture of. It's looks exactly like the dummyobd I sent ya'll a link of. We shall have to see

What about the ears?

If you look at the original design, you'll see how it slants on the sides - narrower at the bottom, wider on top.

Now, draw an imaginary line from the bottom straight up (instead of slanted and stop where the bottom of the ears are. remove the excess plastic and you have an OBD port with ears.

I know they've always been wider and then narrow but his OBD dongle won't fit over the ears. His is the only one I've seen with those ears.

The one I have is not angled as much on the sides like everyone else.

Any 2020 to 2021 out there that can provide a picture of their obd2 port.

Much Thanks!

You are correct. I didn't notice that before. I'm sure curious about it.

Looking at your latest picture, which is much clearer, it looks a lot like this:

What looked like "ears" initially now looks like the "big" side of the typical trapezoid shaped ODB2 port. If you draw a line from the "ears" to the slanted part of the smaller side, it will be a straight line. Instead of the "ears" being an extra piece of plastic, it looks like your OBD2 port just has some plastic shaved off on the sides.

I have a 2020 MK7.5 GTI and my OBDELEVEN PRO fits just find. I'll try to take a picture when I get a chance later today.

Here's a photo of the OBD port on my test bench. Seems to have the ears. I have no issues using OBD2 dongles, VCDS, VAS6154, or VCP......

 

[bobloblawGTI]

It's ears all the way down.
