FOXWELL OBD2 Female to 20pin Extension Convert Adapter OBD1 to OBDII Cable -16pin to 20pin Cable (11 Inch)

Works perfectly. I use it on my Foxwell NT710 so I can read the codes from a 1996 BMW. The OBD connector under the dash does not provide full diagnostic codes, and my year BMW still used this proprietary round port.

I was desperately trying to get my Foxwell scanner to work on my 2000 X5. I could read engine codes from the OBD2 port but the scanner was not able to speak to the other modules even though it said it supported my BMW. I was baffled as to why it could see the CEL codes but not SRS/SAS/etc..... Turns out...Some BMW's were fitted with BOTH the OBD2 port *and* the "PacMan" port located in the engine bay! Seriously? Yup...AND....BMW only does diagnostic from the 20 pin PacMan port so reading codes from the OBD2 port is impossible. So much frustration but this little conversion adapter helped me read the SRS codes and ABS codes to diagnose and clear codes. This is a must-have for the early model BMW's but be sure to understand that some models have BOTH ports and if you are trying to read non engine codes, this is the only way to do it. I did read on the forums that everyone agrees that the PacMan port should be the ONLY port used for all purposes and never use the OBD2 port even when smogging your vehicle. Makes sense because I always have a problem with the smog station trying to read my VIN but now I no longer have that issue.

Was a cheap solution, worked with my E38 BMW perfectly. Dont see why it wouldnt with other 90s beamers.

Worked as promised

Works great for a 98 e36

Excellent

Working great job Thanks
