Autel OBD2 Extension Cable 10ft (3m) 16-Pin OBD II Cord — High-Purity Copper, Molded Connector

Autel's 10ft (3m) 16-pin OBD2 extension cable extends reach to your vehicle's diagnostic port so tools and accessories can be connected comfortably and securely.

If you need more room to operate a scan tool, hide a tracker, or power devices from the DLC without bending into cramped spaces, this 3-meter Autel OBD II extension cord adds convenient distance between the vehicle’s OBD port and your diagnostic device. Built with high-purity copper conductors and a molded one-piece shell, the cable is designed for reliable signal transfer and a durable connection during repairs, tuning, or accessory installation.

How does this extension cable help during diagnostics and repairs?

By placing a longer lead between the vehicle DLC and your scanner or laptop, you avoid contorting in the driver’s seat and gain a comfortable working area. The 10ft length gives technicians and DIYers freedom to position tools for clear viewing and safer operation.

• Extends reach from the car’s OBD-II port to a convenient workspace.
• Compatible with standard 16-pin OBD-II scanners and diagnostic adapters.
• Molded connectors reduce accidental disconnects while working.

Will this cable work with my car and OBD2 devices?

The Autel extension uses the universal 16-pin OBD-II interface used on most gasoline and diesel vehicles with OBD-II ports. It connects a vehicle DLC to any compatible 16-pin tool, but note it does not support CAN FD or DoIP protocols.

• Fits all standard OBD-II 16-pin ports on OBDII-equipped vehicles.
• Works with Autel scanners and most third-party OBD2 tools and tuners.
• Not compatible with newer CAN FD and DoIP communication protocols.

What else can I connect through the 16-pin extender?

This extension is useful beyond scanning: it lets you mount or conceal devices, power dash cams, and link tuning or GPS modules while keeping the installed device out of sight. Because the cord carries both data and power lines, many accessory types are supported.

• Use for GPS or hidden-locator devices, power for dashcams, or WLAN hotspots.
• Connect tuning interfaces like handheld programmers and some accessport-style units.
• Allow discreet mounting of trackers by relocating the adapter away from the port.

How durable and reliable is the Autel extension cable?

Autel constructs the cable with oxygen-free high-purity copper conductors and reinforced strain relief for stable, fast data transfer and improved tensile strength. The single-mold connector and protective braided tail reduce wear at stress points so the cable stands up to workshop use.

• Pure copper core for efficient data and power transmission.
• Thickened wire and double-reinforced tail for enhanced durability.
• One-year warranty plus 30-day return/exchange support from Autel.

Who is this for? The Autel 10ft OBD2 extension cord is aimed at professional technicians, mobile mechanics, tuners, and car owners who need extra clearance for diagnostics, secure placement of OBD-powered accessories, or a flexible connection during repair work. If you require a longer, rugged OBD-II lead for scanning, tuning, or discreet device installation — and you do not need CAN FD or DoIP support — this extender offers a straightforward, dependable solution with manufacturer support.
