There's a rubber gromet in the engine bay that you just push in and feed the wire through

As an alternative you could do their bluetooth connection. You have to purchase the dongle and app, but it's not too bad. Worth every penny being able to log from my phone. Trying to do it with a laptop was a pain.

You still need to run the OBD2 to use the Bluetooth kit

Yes, on the drivers side. Pics can be found in their install guide on their website.

Install guide says to remove and leave the grommet out. I put a hole in my grommet instead and reused it to seal the hole and wires.

I posted this before... Hope it helps you too

Maybe this will help not sure

[zengoski]

thanks for all the help guys I figured it out.

Having trouble finding the magic grommet.

My car is a '14 6 spd.

Did you go (cut) through the large odbii grommet by pushing from the inside behind the dash in one of the round indents? I'd hate to cut it and mess up a wire from the loom.



Or has anyone pushed the grommet aside for what looks like a brake vacuum hose?

thanks

I'm not sure if your cars different being a 14 but there's a gromet with no wires or anything going thru it you just push it in and it falls where your pedals are then you just feed the obdii wire thru hook it up and you re done

[Hoog23]

Thanks. Is your car an auto?

Yes it is but I don't see why it'd be different on a manual it's just a gromet on the chassis

zengoski what did you do?

My bad for the late response. if your car is a manual I guess there is a clutch line hose or something where the grommet is supposed to be for automatics. Terry actually informed me so I had to have my dad push it aside while I fed the obd2 cable through it was kind of a bitch. Push the hose out a little and down and it's a little easier.

No worries. Thank you

Anyone know of a better way to get the OBDII cable inside the car? I really don't want to be poking holes around my clutch line.

Any updates here? Are these the only two alternatives those of us with the 6MT have? Will be doing this over the weekend assuming USPS delivers on time.

[wakemcs]

Anyone? I tried fishing the wire through this morning and it was a no go. How did you all manage to get the bulky clip through such a tight squeeze?

At this point I'm thinking I may need to simply extend the jb4 wires into the cabin and connect the obd2 inside the car (as opposed to in the engine bay).

Any thoughts greatly appreciated. There really needs to be a better solution for 6MT or a 6MT specific cable...

You gotta pull the clutch line aside a bit. It takes some effort but far from difficult.

yeah you have to pull the clutch line out then push down on it it'll go through with some effort

Did you take the grommet off or literally just push the clutch line aside? I got a screwdriver through to the cabin and taped the obd2 cable to it but it's so bulky that with the clutch line and grommet there, I couldn't get it through when pulling the screwdriver out.
