Odb2 Bluetooth

[Varming]

I got one of those small ODB2 bluetooth "things" that plug in to your ODB2 connector and can communicate with your phone by bluetooth. My problem is that with the plug plugged in I can't close the lid on the place the ODB2 is hiding. Anybody found a solution for that?

If there is easy access to the rear of the OBD socket, you could unclip it from the panel resting it behind the panel with the ELM327 attached to it,

What I just did was to remove the thing the keep the "lid" closed - it's easy to get out without breaking it and can easily be put back. I then superglued a 12mm diameter 2mm thick magnet to the lid opposite a screw and it will not prevent the lid being closed if I ever put the thing back that I removed. I then just put another magnet of the same size on top of the other (magnetism is keeping them together) and that is actually enough to keep the lid closed.
