The OBD-2 is a standard interface to many of todays cars and trucks. The OBD-2 cable provides the CAN signals from the car/truck to a CAN interface adapter and can provide diagnostic and basic information when combined with the correct software. This 1 meter adapter cable (PCAN IPEK-003004), OBD-2 to 9-pin D-Sub, can be used to access the CAN lines.
