hi all.
I want to know if anyone has replaced there dlc cable,  as I find the original one a bit on the stiff side and to short.......can this be obtained from a computer shop.......and what sort of cable is it.....what do I ask for, as I obviously don't want to cause any damage. I know I could take the original with me. ...!

thanks.

  hi. yes in general the cable is fine......its just sometimes it would be advantageous to be able to move out of fhe drivers seat......for example look in the engine bay while having the tester in your hand.....say for testing a component, but its also to stiff in construction (especially when cold)  in my experience it can strain the connections, especially when the dlc is mounted vertically,  a softer cable would  hang better and not stick out the dashboard and get in your way.

preferences :- softer construction.  better fitting on obd2 connector.
length:- 3 mtrs.
money:- for the above, of good quality, I would pay £25/30.

thank you.

 hi jmechanic. .....thanks for  your comments,  glad someone agrees with me. been  looking around but no joy. However,  see if you agree below with my conversation with autels support. ....... hope to see what you think. cheers.

 to support
ps........ I think you must understand my point about the cable issue on the 708 as I have just noticed that on your new website, your new device (maxisys)  has a bluetooth for connectivity, for our convenience, no cable. so if poss your help on this matter for us who own the ds708 would be appreciated.

thank you.
