These days most countries require a vehicle diagnostic port that is compliant with either OBD2 or other similar standards. The OBD2 port is usually located inside the vehicle under the steering wheel and above the gas pedal area. Please see the diagram below in order to find some of the common locations of the OBD2 port. The exact location of the port varies depending upon the make/model/year of the car. See More

An OBD-II port is an onboard diagnostics port II. installed in all cars manufactured during or after 1996. It is an onboard computer that monitors emissions, mileage, speed, and other data about your car.

Please make sure for your safety that your car’s ignition is turned off.

The OBD-II port is most commonly located near the steering wheel, below the dash, and above the gas pedal. Other possible locations are around the middle console or in the glove box compartment.

Note that the port has a very recognizable shape but may be covered by a concealable cap or cover.

If the Vyncs device has fewer prongs than the number of holes on your car’s OBD-II port do not worry, this is normal.

Plugin the Vyncs device and wait one minute before turning on the ignition of your car.

No, there is only one Vyncs app. If you have purchased a Vyncs Fleet device, once you have created your account the Vyncs app will automatically update to reflect the options offered to Vyncs Fleet customers.

Not all 16-wheeler trucks have an OBD-II port. Please check your truck’s model and year to determine if Vyncs’ OBD-II link device is compatible with your vehicle.
