I use it on my Foxwell NT710 so I can read the codes from a 1996 BMW. The OBD connector under the dash does not provide full diagnostic codes, and my year BMW still used this proprietary round port. Review: Required on some BMW models even if they have an OBD2 port! - I was desperately trying to get my Foxwell scanner to work on my 2000 X5. I could read engine codes from the OBD2 port but the scanner was not able to speak to the other modules even though it said it supported my BMW. I was baffled as to why it could see the CEL codes but not SRS/SAS/etc..... Turns out...Some BMW's were fitted with BOTH the OBD2 port *and* the "PacMan" port located in the engine bay! Seriously? Yup...AND....BMW only does diagnostic from the 20 pin PacMan port so reading codes from the OBD2 port is impossible. So much frustration but this little conversion adapter helped me read the SRS codes and ABS codes to diagnose and clear codes. This is a must-have for the early model BMW's but be sure to understand that some models have BOTH ports and if you are trying to read non engine codes, this is the only way to do it. I did read on the forums that everyone agrees that the PacMan port should be the ONLY port used for all purposes and never use the OBD2 port even when smogging your vehicle. Makes sense because I always have a problem with the smog station trying to read my VIN but now I no longer have that issue. ## Features - [Interface Conversion] - Converts the vehicle’s factory 20-pin round diagnostic socket to a standard 16-pin OBDII interface, allowing modern OBD2 scanners and diagnostic tools to communicate with the vehicle’s system. - [Vehicle Compatibility] - Compatible with BMW vehicles manufactured prior to 1996 that utilize the 20-pin round diagnostic port (commonly located in the engine bay). Compatible models include E30, E32, E34, E36, E38, E39, E46, E53, Z3, and other models equipped with the same 20-pin interface. - [Wide Tool Compatibility] - Works seamlessly with most FOXWELL OBD2 diagnostic tools, including popular models such as NT201, NT301, NT510 Elite, NT510 Pro, NT604 Elite, NT7 Series, NT809BT, and NT1009, as well as other standard OBDII scanners. - [Application] - Essential for reading engine codes, performing system diagnostics, and conducting maintenance on older vehicles that require a 20-pin to OBD2 bridge connection. - [Important – Verify Before Purchase] - Please check your vehicle for the presence of a 20-pin round diagnostic connector under the hood before ordering. This adapter is intended for vehicles with that specific port configuration. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00UC11M4A | | Best Sellers Rank | #87,251 in Automotive ( See Top 100 in Automotive ) #444 in Code Readers & Scan Tools | | Brand | FOXWELL | | Built-In Media | NT1009BT Diagnostic Tool*1 | | Color | OBD2 16pin to 20pin Cable | | Compatible Devices | Scanner | | Connector Type | Obd2 to 20-pin | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 231 Reviews | | Item Package Quantity | 1 | | Manufacturer | FOXWELL | | Mfr Part Number | Obd2 to bmw 20pin | | Model Number | OBD2 16pin to 20pin Cable | | Number of Items | 1 | | Package Quantity | 1 | | Smart Home Compatibility | Not Smart Home Compatible | | UPC | 710882313517 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | 12 Months | ## Product Details - **Brand:** FOXWELL - **Connector Type:** 20-pin to Obd2 16-pin - **Cable Type:** Diagnostic Cable (Fit for BMW) - **Compatible Devices:** Scanner - **Color:** OBD2 16pin to 20pin Cable ## Images ![OBD2 Female to 20pin Extension Convert Adapter OBD1 to OBDII Cable -16pin to 20pin Cable (11 Inch) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Ks+JYwopL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does this adapter work on a 2003 bmw 320d e46 european specs. vehicle?** A: Dear Customer, Generally, this adapter can work for your 2003 bmw 320d e46.
