OBD Port for Bouncie Tracker

[Doug Richardson]

Has anybody ever connected a vehicle tracker on a 2015 Genesis Sedan? The OBD is super close to the access panel and it will not allow for reattachment if the Bouncie Tracker is installed. I tried sending it back and they sent me a photo that the OBD port could be removed and installed loose. Before I try this I would appreciate another opinion.
Thank you!

Do it as they says....pop it out and connect the Bouncie. I have the tracker hookup in my daughter's Santa Fe (don't ask why, lol) and it works fine!
As for the Genesis....I got something else connected and I had to remove it from the little bracket, otherwise access panel wouldn't stay in place. I can take a picture and show it if you like.

That would be great if you can send a picture.

Actually. You'd have to push it in to remove it from the bracket. Plenty of room to plug in something else and close it.
I'm using my phone now to post it, I hope it works.

Either pull it out (I did this to fit a wifi hotspot) or get an OBD extender with a 90 degree head.

Thanks for all of your help...tracker is installed. Happy New Years!!

I actually purchased this previously and it helped because it wouldn't have worked very well without it. The Bouncie Tracker is still too deep without it.
