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.

Thats what mine looks like, its OBD2 on one end and RJ45 on the other.
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.

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.

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.

$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.
