Connect a 16-Pin Scan Tool to a BMW 20-Pin Socket
This braided, copper-core adapter routes a BMW 20-pin diagnostic socket to a compatible 16-pin OBD2 tool. It is passive: protocol and diagnostic coverage still depend on the vehicle and scan tool.

Good to Know
Caution
- A compatible 16-pin diagnostic tool is required; scanner, software and licenses are not included.
- Not every BMW has a 20-pin diagnostic socket; check your vehicle connector before ordering.
- Do not attach unknown or high-current devices to vehicle diagnostic power.
Care
- Check pin type and connector direction before connecting, and never force a mismatched plug.
- Pull by the connector body, not the cable, and keep the pins clean and dry.
- Route the cable clear of pedals, steering, seat tracks and doors.
