Does anybody have any experience of and recommendations for an OBDII port extension cable that has a switch to allow you to leave a reader plugged in and be able to switch it off/on to prevent battery drawdown when not in use?  _______________________________________________

ive been looking at these recently and as you say they claim 16 pin throughput....many on ebay around £8/9 and if they dont do the 16 pin then you can claim of ebay... ... - .- -.

Mine doesn’t have a power on/off switch., but I leave it plugged in permanently and just plug in Gap iid when needed.
Its main purpose is to prevent ware and tare on the car socket by regularly using iid, but it also stops my foot accidentally dislodging the iid when driving.
