AUTOOL Y-SPLITTER · 16-PIN 2-WAY OBD2 EXTENSION CABLE
AUTOOL OBD2 2-Way Y-Splitter 35cm Extension Cable (1 Male to 2 Female)
Keep your fleet GPS tracker or HUD connected while leaving a dedicated second 16-pin port open for diagnostic scanners and oscilloscope testing.
- 1 Male -> 2 Female
- 35 cm Pure Copper
- All 16 Pins Active
Engineered for Professional Workshop Demands
The AUTOOL OBD2 2-Way Splitter 35cm is built to deliver speed, accuracy, and durability in busy service bays.
Dual Female Ports Eliminate Unplugging
Leave a fleet GPS tracker, insurance dongle, or HUD plugged into one port while keeping the second port free for workshop scanners.
Full 16-Pin 1:1 Parallel Architecture
All 16 pins are wired straight through to both female connectors, supporting standard OBD2 as well as OEM-specific protocols.
35cm Flexible TPE Armored Jacket
Abrasion-resistant, flame-retardant TPE cabling bends easily behind dashboard panels without kinking.
Perfect for Live CAN-Bus Scope Monitoring
Connect your diagnostic scanner to port A while probing live CAN-High/Low waveforms with an oscilloscope on port B.
MULTIPLY YOUR OBD2 ACCESS
Share One Vehicle Port Between Permanent Accessories & Service Tools
Modern vehicles often have their single OBD2 port occupied by GPS trackers, LPG controllers, or HUD units. The AUTOOL 2-way splitter gives you an instant second service port.
- Compatible with GPS trackers, HUDs, Bluetooth dongles, and pro scanners
- Prevents wear and tear on the vehicle's factory OBD2 connector
- Allows two bulky connectors to sit comfortably without colliding
PURE COPPER CONDUCTIVITY
Stable Power & High-Speed CAN Communication Across All 16 Pins
Constructed with thick oxygen-free copper (OFC) cores to prevent voltage drop during ECU programming and multi-module scanning.
- Supports ISO 15765-4 CAN, KWP2000, ISO 9141-2, and SAE J1850
- Molded strain-relief boots prevent wire fatigue at connector necks
- Corrosion-resistant nickel/gold-plated contact pins
DIAGNOSTIC BENCH UTILITY
Simultaneous Scanner Communication & Waveform Probing
When diagnosing intermittent CAN errors, technicians can run a scan tool on one branch while measuring pin voltages on the second branch without back-probing harnesses.
- Safe non-destructive voltage and waveform testing via the second socket
- 35cm short branch length avoids CAN-Bus stub reflection issues
- Works reliably on both 12V cars and 24V commercial trucks

Workshop Application & Operating Guide
Recommended 4-step standard operating procedure for accurate results.
Plug Male End into Vehicle Port
Insert the 16-pin male plug firmly into the vehicle's factory J1962 OBD2 socket.
Connect Permanent Device
Attach your GPS tracker or HUD display to the first female branch and tuck it neatly under the dash.
Use Second Branch for Diagnostics
Connect your diagnostic VCI scanner or test probes to the second female socket whenever needed.
Bus Contention Note
Power and passive listeners work simultaneously; avoid running two active diagnostic scanners requesting ECU data at the exact same time.
Conventional Methods vs. Professional Diagnostics
How precision engineering eliminates guesswork and comebacks.
Conventional / Basic Methods
- Constantly unplugging fleet GPS trackers during workshop visits
- Cheap 8-pin splitters fail to communicate with ABS or Airbag ECUs
- Long 1m cables tangle around foot pedals
- Copper-clad aluminum wires cause voltage drops
With AUTOOL OBD2 2-Way Splitter 35cm
- Dedicated second port keeps permanent accessories untouched
- Full 16-pin pure copper wiring supports every OEM module
- Ergonomic 35cm length stays tidy and signal-clean
- Heavy-duty molded strain relief built for daily shop use

Frequently Asked Questions
Key technical questions from technicians and workshops about the AUTOOL OBD2 2-Way Splitter 35cm.
Are all 16 pins wired to both female sockets?
Yes, all 16 pins are wired 1:1 in parallel with oxygen-free copper conductors.
Can two active scan tools query the ECU at the same time?
A passive device (like a voltage monitor, HUD, or GPS power) and a scanner work together seamlessly, but two active diagnostic scanners should not send CAN requests simultaneously.
Why is 35cm the ideal length?
35cm gives enough slack to tuck one device behind the dash while keeping the second port accessible—without hanging into the pedals or causing CAN stub reflections.
Does it work on 24V trucks?
Yes, the heavy-gauge copper conductors safely handle 12V and 24V systems.
Will it fit Launch and Autel VCI dongles?
Yes, both female sockets conform to SAE J1962 specifications.
What warranty is included?
Backed by a 6-month official Otoeko warranty.
