n00b AccessPORT question !

[f1anatic]

Hi folks...

I am new here. What is an Accessport ? Do they make it for my 2005.5 2.5i JDM-spec left-sided Legacy Type B ?

I need to connect both my Accessport version 1 and a data logger to the OBD2 port on my car. The data logger would be on my CarPC (basically - Enginuity gauges) and the APv1 would allow me to change between a few real time maps. With the gas prices, I have determined that the economy map will help me on the highway- not so much on city driving.

 

Do I split the signal this way ?

and in one I stick my AP cable and in the other I stick

or do I split signals this way

(note the right angle, small profile male OBD2 terminal)

and this

one of which will go to my CarPC and the other to the APv1 (with the apropriate "gender benders")

 

What is the preferred way ? Is there a preferred way ? So far I have been using the AP cable but it is way too bulky at its OBD2 terminal so I want it gone and I do not want to bend to stick it in again. I can get either OBD-2 type cable with all 16 pins (so I could send the signal to the ECU - it would not be a case of pins not matching) Also to consider, the space above that pesky plate we always hit with the feet, atop the pedals - but it is a secondary concern.

 

Thanks.

Cables are available from this vendor.

This will be the cleanest because you can tuck it up and hide it. I came very close to doing this one if I was keeping her
