Y Cable

[arthansen]

I have a "Window Valet" that plugs into my OBD2 port. Whenever I want to use HP Tuners I have to unplug it. I am EXTREEMLY lazy; so what I want to do is be able to leave the Window Valet hooked up and still hook up HP Tuners.

I am wondering if it would be OK to use this Y cable

to have the Window Valet and HP Tuners working at the same time. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks.

I tried this with the Dashhawk. With both cable plugged in but the Dashhawk un-plugged I could not get HP to connect.

x2, I had the same problem. I wanted to use my aeroforce gauges and log with hpt.

So.......it worked ok as long as both were plugged in???

OK, I went ahead and ordered the Y cable and it works great.

The Window Valet works if the MPVI is hooked up or not and HP Tuners works if the Window Valet is hooked up or not.

I dont know if you saw this or not, but the same company that sells the Window Valet has this...eh theres not a direct link to it, but its the 2nd picture up from the bottom. It adds a 2nd OBD port so your stock one isnt always tied up. Im guessing that could have been your 2nd route if you hadnt gone with the Y.

...or just go to the junkyard and pull one for alot less

And put a relay/switch on the orange (battery) line so you can leave HPT installed full time.

That is a great idea. I think it is time to do a little surgery on my new Y cable.

I have been wondering about this for awhile, so it is nice to find this thread.

So some of you have wired in second OBD-II ports in your vehicles? Any chance of some advice on this and/or pics?

Thanks!

Check out the link in the fist post.

All I did was plug that into the OBD2 port and plug HP Tuners into one side and my window valet into the other. Could not have been easier.
