OBD2 port source for un-switched 12V power

[ATPMSD]

This has likely posted elsewhere but I thought I would share. In Tesla‘s, although there is no need for an OBD2 port one still exists - this is in addition to the CAN Bus. You can tap into the OBD2 bus to get a 12V un-switched power source. The link below will take you to an Amazon page with a number of options, if you have such a need.

Thanks for the post. Didn’t realize they made something like this. I thought I’d have to make my own hack by following this article

Just FYI, Model 3 and Model don't have OBD2 ports. I think the recent SR models with the LiFePO4 batteries that were made in China might have an OBD2 port, since I read that the Asian market cars had it.

Whats the current rating for OBD2 port?

No idea. Look at the specs on what you want. My guess is 150 watts with a 15A fuse,

I noticed that the ODBC2 un-swiched 12 V occured after getting a software update following the Hertz annoncement of the 100k order. So I think this was related.

I imagine that fleet companies need to instal a device allowing them to get status informations such as GPS location, speed, mileage and battery charge....

My ODBC reader stays on all the time now but goes in sleep mode after few minutes.

My guess is that the ODB 12 VDC wire is not large enough to support more than a few amps.
