Stacking mods on the OBD port - a problem?

[austinzone]

Ive noticed a few mods Id like to do all seem to use the connector on the back of the OBD port. These are all pigtails.

• auto start/stop eliminate
• Ford perimeter security/FOB remote start
• Thinkware dashcam

My concern is - is it alright to stack several things on that connector?

Thanks!

The auto start/stop that I've seen plugs in under the center console. As far as stacking other OBD-II devices, you will probably have to be the first guinea pig and try it.

Show me the one you are talking about for the Maverick.

Another member on the forum here posted a write up several months ago. He had to get into the center console and install the auto start stop in line with the switch. I will repost here if I can find it again.

I am considering the thinkware dash cam also. If your Maverick is a Hybrid then no. I asked Thinkware if the OBD plug-in was compatible with the Maverick Hybrid and the reply stated NO, to enter the parking mode they suggested hardwiring as the OBD plug was not compatible with Hybrid or Electric vehicles.
