OBD2 port?

[5teep]

Could someone point me towards the obd2 I can't spot it and don't want to go ripping panels off.

Found it, see pic if interested. The red light is my obd2 dongle.

I thought it was where your toes point to if you had a clutch left foot?
Have you got a dongle to plug into it?

 

[Jomarkh]

Sorry i was too late or you were too quick.
What dongle have you got?

 

[5teep]

Cheers Jomarkh I've got this one, need to find some pids for Torque to go with it now. I believe there are some about.

oop, doesn't like links. It's the

Vgate iCar Pro Bluetooth 4.0 OBDII​

You need to buy a Bluetooth OBD scanner and download the app from the Project OBD2 thread.

This will give you all the Firmware Levels, SOH and much more.

This is the scanner I got

DIAG Scanner

You can download the App from here

Thanks for posting the links. The app doesn't seem to like my dongle, it won't see the car or tells me the dongle is failing.
I suppose it could be faulty.

 

[Jomarkh]

Is the app the same as ZS?

It is actually the ZS app but the author seemed to think it would work with the MG5

Tested the vgate icar pro in my Kia Soul ice and it works fine so it either doesn't like ev obd or the app doesn't like it.
Either way, scratch it off the list of compatible dongles.

Hi, I have been trying my OBD2 dongle but only getting a few bits populated.
Could it be the wrong type of dongle or the ZS app I am using?

Sometimes it takes a while the first time it's connected.

 

[Jomarkh]

The first time was for about 10 minutes but today was for twice that.
Can I leave it in all the time ( over night) or does it use the 12v battery.
Will driving with it connected help to retrieve the data?

On the ZS, some have reported the alarm going off if the connector is left in.
