My obd port seems to be pretty loose, I have my dash cam hooked up to it and sometimes it won’t turn on. If I unplug and plug it back in all is good. I would upload a video but I get an error each time I try.
Wanted to see if anyone else has an obd port that wiggled?

I had noticed this as well. Both with my BAFX module and KTuner V2 OBD connector. Seems to be a Honda thing after talking to a few local 1.5T owners.

You can look underneath and check to make sure the retainer tabs on the plug aren't broken. If that looks good, try reaching behind the port on each side, and apply gentle, even pressure between it and your dash cam plug. GL. :cool:

I noticed mine was a bit loose as well...assumed I must have kicked it while the ktuner unit was plugged in maybe it’s normal

mine is loose too. they tried to charge me to fix it at the dealer because i "plugged something into it" :rolleyes:. had to talk to the manager and they didn't charge me...

going to buy a low profile obd extension cable so i'm not constantly plugging/unplugging into the port. i noticed when unplugging my bluetooth obd adapter it would break it loose.
