OBD Port for 996 turbo
Just wondering if the 996 turbo diagnostic port is OBD II? I cant seemed to plug my ross-tech cable into the OBD II port. Just trying to read some generic codes.

With my durametric, i had to push HARD to get it to stay in place. It 'clicks' in place when it is all the way in

If you have the ross tech (VAG com)cable,you can only read obd2 generic codes on a p car...i bought it hoping that it could read all ECUs of 996TT(psm,clima,DME...)but it can not...it only clears codes...Then i bought the durametric that did the job...

If you snap off the little latching tab on the connector shell, it plugs right in. I had the same problem.

The ross-tech cable is tough to get in. I think I ended up clipping off the little tab on mine.

The 996TT is OBD2 compliant as previously stated. Check the plug to see if there is and obstruction in between.

No prob. It looks like you're pretty close to us, if you need codes pulled...feel free to swing by.
