Default OBDII port

hey alll,

im looking at building a carpc and running a program called dashcommand, basically a flash way of displaying data from tge obd2 port. question is, does anyone know if i can unclip the scan port and move it to give me more room to keep an interface cable connected permanently without running the riskof breaking it off with my knee getting in and out of the car?

Will this program actually run with the Falcon's computer? I thought that it wasn't fully OBDII compliant, and had it's own coding. Or are you running it on a different car?

from their website

SAE-J1850 (PWM and VPW), ISO-9141, ISO-14230 (KWP2000), and ISO-15765 (CAN).

As i understand it, Ford use J1850 PWM
