Unobstructed OBD cable

[NoGuru]

I have a BimmerGeeks OBD cable and now that I have Flex Fuel installed I am monitoring logs much more but the issue is the OBD cable sticks out pretty far.
I would like to leave it plugged in all the time. Is there anything we can do to hide the cable like a 90 or 180 degree adapter?
Maybe something else that hides it even better?

Thin obd plugs and extension cables are pretty easy to find.

Amazon obd extension cable.

I keep one plugged in and the cover snapped closed

Oh wow, I just did a quick search and found a ton. Thanks!

Which cable did you go with? When I was testing the extension cable, i kept getting failures during flash :|

I bought this one but it won't be here until tomorrow so let's hope it works fine.

Did you end up flashing through this cable a few times by now?

Only a few flashes but I monitor with it daily. Ended up being a great cable.

I know this sounds like a broken record but a Bluetooth solution is coming soon, not hypothetical. Can't say more.

LOL, yeah but I have been hearing that for over a year. IF it happens that opens a whole new world, but I am hopeful.

It's already happened though

Fairly certain it was bimmer geeks who was going to release a proper tested and working Bluetooth solution. Which may mean IOS is coming soon too!

You said the same thing about how we'd be surprised how soon Flex Fuel would be released. It only took 9 months from that point.

That is true. Are you saying you weren't surprised? Even I never would have guessed it would take 9 more months

All of the indications are that it won’t be that long.
