There may be some vehicles in
which the factory plastics or
upholstery interferes with the
proper mounting of the 3 white
OBD plugs of the OB-23.
FEATURE HIGHLIGHT#1
All 16 pins of the factory OBD plug are spliced
among the 3 white OBD plugs of the OB-23. This
means you can connect any CAN device to any of
the 3 plugs, including CAN diagnostic devices and
of course DIGI-LINK® products.
FEATURE HIGHLIGHT#2
The wire lengths between each of the OB-23
plugs is different so as to make it easier to choose
which plug you wish to mount in the factory OBD
slot.
While pressing inward on the two tabs shown
above by the arrows, push the factory OBD
connector out the back of its slot.
DO NOT pull on the wires at back of the
factory connector. You need to push out the
connector to avoid damaging factory wires.
NOTE. The factory OBD on some cars may be
mounted slightly different than the two photo above.
NOTE. A wire tie can be used as shown above to
ensure the connectors won’t ever pull apart.

•
When using the OB-23 in conjuction with other DIGI-LINK products from our firm, take care
not to attach third party devices to the OB-23 which draw excessive current. Such could result
in large voltage drops that may temporarily impair one or more of the DIGI-LINK devices.
•
If you attach a high-current device to the OB-23 and find it interfering with a DIGI-LINK
device, you can continue to use the OB-23’s CAN wire pair, but you will need to feed Power
and/or Ground from another source (such as direct from the car battery).
•
Unstable operation of any one or all the devices you’ve attached to the OB-23 is a sign that
one or more devices is drawing excessive current, or it could be a plug is loosely connected.
