Description of VSTM 3Meter OBD II Vehicle ECU Emergency Power Supply Cable Memory Saver with Alligator Clamps and 12V Car Battery Cigarette Lighter Power Extension Socket

Compared by most of OBD metal pins in market with zinc plating, ours are gold plating. Better reliable on contact and electric transmission. Compared by most of OBD II Memory Saver (or Automotive Computer Memory Saver) in market with 3 ~ 5 ft in cable length, ours with super long 10 ft (3meters) cable. In this way, you can change your car battery, also by get the alternative 12V power source from another car, when you not have a jump starter on hand. 8 amp fuse built into the memory saver, better reliable on overload protection. Powered by any jump starter with a 12V outlet into an OBD II Memory Saver. Interface connector between a 12V DC power source and vehicle's OBD II port. Preserves vehicle codes and electronic presets. Replacing a car battery on older vehicles used to be simple!! You unhook the old battery and install the new one. Late-model vehicles, however, rely on computers that operate everything from the stereo to the transmission. If power is lost to the computer, the settings are lost and have to reset to default. That means the vehicle may feel different when driven, and you may have to enter a security code to access the stereo. Using this simple memory saving device when replacing your car battery will help you avoid these problems. This device can work with any 12V DC power source, including jump starter, DC 12V Lead-acid battery, or another car’s DC 12V power outlet. As our device with 3 meter cable, it will be a convenient way, should you not have jump starter (or Lead-acid battery) on hand, and the device can also get the 12v power supply from cigarette lighter of another good car. Just insert the Cigarette lighter plug to this car and insert into 16 pin plug to the OBD port of the car you want to replace battery. You can replace the battery.

Excellent product, highly recommend

Please read the 5 star ratings for this product from Robert Hoeth & SeaKnight1000 and others. Your processes and reviews are "more detailed" than mine. My process: 1) Put an old but "good" (i.e. over 10V) old car battery on the passenger side and plug in the VSTM. 2) VSTM connected to OBDII connector 3) replaced low car battery, 4) VSTM disconnected. Summary: Easy to use, looks good, saves auto memory, so no retraining process is required. $17.99 was a reasonable price for this simple and…

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Everything OK

2013 Accord V6 - Worked flawlessly! Not me .

2013 Accord V6 - Worked Perfectly! I didn't need instructions, but for those who said it didn't work, instructions might be helpful. I would also not use a plug adapter to power the vehicle as it is not known if it will stay powered and if there is an auto shut off feature.1. Make sure the ignition is off and all lights and anything that uses electricity is off.2. Make a connection to the vehicle's OBD2 port where the battery is to be disconnected and make sure it is securely fastened.3. Close…

Pros
  • Easy Install
Cons
  • Nothing

Did what it says on the tin

I have a 2018 Jeep Compass that has one of those engine start/stop functions. This feature stopped working when the original main battery (large) ran out. I did without the start-stop function for a while until the car even started. Battery life was 4 years. I bought this item. Came in a bag. I hooked it up to an OBDII port under the dash and a lead-acid motorcycle battery I had on hand (see photo). The thing is, you'll need an alternate power source for this item to work as it doesn't come…

Pros
  • Using this simple memory saver when changing your car battery will help you avoid these problems. This device may be operated from any 12V DC power source, including a jump starter, a 12V DC lead-acid battery, or another vehicle's 12V DC outlet.
Cons
  • Almost everything is there

Works for Mercedes too!

I'm an automotive technician, but Mercedes, BMW and Audi have complex and strange, even arbitrary and useless features that are exclusive for one reason or another. Lots of electrical presets and stuff for all sorts of things in these machines. However, I knew I couldn't just unplug and plug the terminals back in and expect that the only problem I would have was reprogramming the radio channels. So before changing the battery of a 2010 Mercedes C-300, I scoured the internet and made sure I had…

Pros
  • Sturdy surface
Cons
  • Almost never

Beware of this product

This VSTM OBD II Memory Saver Cable has a cigarette lighter plug on one end that plugs into another vehicle's battery or power port. The other end is an OBD-II male connector that plugs into an OBD-II socket on the vehicle, usually under the dash. The OBD-II system uses 16 pins in the receiver, with each pin assigned to a specific function via the vehicle's ECU (a very expensive component). Pin #16 is for the 12V power supply to the system. This is the pin where the 12 volt power supply should…

Pros
  • Value for money
Cons
  • Safety

Excellent product, recommended

This is a detailed review. I was very cautious about changing the battery and did a lot of research before deciding to buy this cable and do it myself. Hopefully this provides the information needed to help others make an informed decision as some of the reviews on the Revain website mention issues with the wiring of this connector. During my use I did not find any wiring issues when using my 2011 Nissan Murano and the cable worked as advertised. I can't give advice on wiring issues on other…

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Can't remember
