Works well, seems to be well made
This connector works fine with my car. The plastic seems to be fairly strong, at least for ther actual connection. I did not see any molding issues. Overall it seems to be a well made connector. I would happily buy the same type again.

Quality Control a bit lacking
[Feb2024 Update]I've just ordered (10) more of these, and was perplexed that they all have pins 12 & 13 protruding . . . then I looked closer at other OBDII plugs I have, and they're that way as well. I guess it's a standard. Changing my rating from *** to ****; I still don't like the cord strain relief's limited range.[Feb2022 Original review]Generally, I like this connector, but mine arrived with pins 12 & 13 inserted to a different projection than the others, and then soldered to the PCB.I was able to clamp the connector in a vise, heat the pins' junctions at the PCB, and leave the soldering tip on the pins a few seconds longer than needed to solder, while pushing on the pins from the pin side, to push them back "down" to the same height as the others.I don't like having to rework parts right out of the box.Other than that, it seems a nice connector set. The strain relief looks like it is supposed to work, but it won't come close to gripping the cable I installed. Whether due to my cable's smaller diameter or not, I don't think this strain relief would actually work on a larger cable. I glued my cable to the ID of the strain relief. The blue shell pieces and screws are good quality.I don't know that I'd buy it again, though.

Great to add OBD2 connectivity to my new car stereo.
Recently replaced the car stereo in my wife's Elantra. I needed a way to connect to the OBD2 for the steering wheel controls without hacking into the wiring harness. This worked perfectly!

Made a Honda SVC dongle
Made a simple Honda SVC dongle to plug in to the OBD port for safely changing out engine and transmission modules.The case is actually a sturdy part! I was expecting a flimsy thin plastic thing so I was pleasantly surprised

Check cord for bad wires.
Used to replace bad plug on scan tool.

Pins 4 and 5 are shorted by design
If you purchase this make sure you want the chassis ground 4 pin and the signal ground 5 pin to short. This could lead to expensive repairs if you somehow have a ground potential between the two pins (4&5). I didn’t want this and didn’t want to return it so under a bright light I identified the location of the trace that shorted the two pins. Once I identified that trace I took a small drill bit and cut through the trace severing the short. Just a little odd.

Junk, pins 4&5 are not supposed to connected. 2 pins on mine are loose, no soder.
Pins 4&5 are not supposed to be connected, one is chassis ground the other sensor ground, 2 pins have no soder on them at all. Not sure what to do with this except throw it away
