Looking for an OBD2 to V2 cable

[LBZ]

I’m in need of a new obd to v2 cable. SoCal wants 56 bucks plus the cost of the cable to ship it through the iron curtain lol and efilive is like 5 weeks delivery for some reason.

So just wondering if any of the other vendors here can do a bit better than either of those.

What "end" is on the V2 side of the cable?

 

[LBZ]

No idea what it’s called

If suggest talking a picture of the plug on your V2 and posting that. He may have a way to help you out

It's an rj45 ethernet plug on the V2 side I believe.

Yup that’s what I need.
The RJ45 end is miled out and the lock clip is gone. It’s one bad bump mid flash away from catastrophe.

Do you know anyone that runs network cabling? It's easy to replace the RJ45 connector if you have the tool and the ends.

Mines been broke for years. I loop the cable around the V2 when I'm flashing so it can't fall out. Then I lucked out and picked up a like new V2 off craigslist for free, and nabbed the cable out of it.

If you have a Lowe’s or home depot near by they sell the parts to replace it

I would call a local PC repair shop or network shop to see if they can put a new RJ45 end on it. I've had that done to a friend's V2 and it's been working flawless, they will just need to make sure they match the pinout of the old plug.

Amazon has a crimper kit with ends for $16. Or there are some homemade ones on ebay for $20.

$56, where do you live... The stupid cable is only $20

It would fit in a USPS Small Priority box.

That being said. My buddy did the same thing as mentioned above with the repair.

Next time I go to the city (2hr drive) I’ll try to remember to bring it with me and find a shop to change it out. I tried this once before though with no luck and kind of forgot about it.
