Have you used an OBDII extension cable?
I just got mine today and it is great for the fact you can actually see the lights functioning on the OBDII scanner (ELM 327 in my case). You may say, so what, ...well, I purchased another scanner a month ago and found it wasn't working after doing everything the seller said to try. I couldn't see if the lights were coming on because it faced the transmission well. I even tried to slide a piece of paper behind it to try to get it to reflect, finally I determined it had to be bad.
Now I can lay the new device, with the extension, on the center council and verify its linked and talking to the app...its 3.9 ft long...they run between $8-12 on Amazon. Well worth it I feel. I may even fish it under the center council (since its flat cable) into the storage and connect there?
