OBDII port and cable

Hi,

Please post picture and the location of the MG ZS EV OBDII port.

What is the recommended OVMS cable for the MG ZS EV(left / right / straight)?

I have ordered MG ZS EV (will have it in 14 days) and i want to order OVMS + cable for CAN bus sniffer.

Thanks

Adding OBD2 for torque app or OVMS

Hi

I have recieved from my thai friend instructions for adding OBD port for torque app via gateway module on passenger side.

Connectors needed are:

From here the way is very clear. :-)

40 pin harness

Thanks for above info, I will try it this weekend. Also ordered 40 pin pre-made harness for Nissan (skyline camera loom)  which looks like what is needed here so hoping to add OBD branch to it.

The Left hand drive models, as delivered in the Netherlands have the gateway module mounted under the steering wheel. back to back with the Bosch module.

This is probably a silly

This is probably a silly question, but do we actually need a Y cable to connect a OVMS unit?

Also in the forum somebody said crimping would be required, I thought the whole purpose of using the Y cable was so you won't need to do any cuts/ joins to the current cables. Or is crimping required, because some of the cables are not corrected to the right pins?

Thanks

No y-cable and no

No y-cable and no modifications are required. Just plug the ODB2 cable straight in

MG ZS compatibility for OVMS Nearly Ready

Excellent News I can't wait this will be a Game Changer.

Is there anything in the "Comfort 2" update which impact/delay the release? I'm waiting on my update booking.

The update won't change

The update won't change anything with regard to OVMS usage. It's probably a good idea to unplug OVMS before taking the car in to avoid any confusion!

Hi Glyn, I've been testing

Hi Glyn, I've been testing the current edge firmware and looking great, most items work, I have discovered with the annoyance to my wife at 3am that the alarm goes of when the charge finishes, obviously because the car is locked, the car will not charge on ac with it unlocked. 
im guess it was because the app was still active on my phone? any thoughts?

Apparently the alarm issue

Apparently the alarm issue has been fixed, lookout for an edge FW build with the fix coming soon. I would recommend following the developers:
