! IMPORTANT: Please note that the HRN-GS16K2 is discontinued and has been replaced by the HRN-GS16K22. For North American Volvo/Mack 2019+ trucks using a version 9 GO device, this harness is not recommended due to interoperability issues. Instead, use HRN-CM24Y1 with HRN-CE10A2 or HRN-CS14S21. Also, in California, ensure you follow direct plug-in installation methods without relocating the diagnostic connector as per state regulations.
Connecting your GO device shouldn’t be a struggle. For many vehicle owners and fleet managers, the location of the OBDII port can be inconvenient, making installation awkward and potentially obstructing the driver. Whether you’re driving a light-duty car or managing a fleet of medium or heavy-duty trucks, including models like the 2016 F-150, accessing the On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) port can sometimes be challenging. This is where the Universal OBDII T-Harness Kit comes into play, offering a seamless solution to extend the reach of your GO device and simplify installation.
Universal OBDII T-Harness Kit
Introducing the Universal OBDII T-Harness Kit
The Universal OBDII T-Harness Kit, previously known as HRN-GS16K2 and now replaced by HRN-GS16K22, is designed to provide a flexible and adaptable solution for GO device installations. This multi-adapter kit includes a T-harness (HRN-BM16T2) and a selection of 12 different mounting adapters. This comprehensive set ensures compatibility across a wide range of vehicles, from compact cars to large trucks, and various models around the globe. While it’s a universal kit, it’s important to always verify compatibility with your specific vehicle, such as a 2016 F-150, before installation.
This kit is particularly useful in scenarios where the standard Automotive Link Diagnostic Link (ALDL), commonly known as the OBD vehicle connection, is located in a position that might interfere with the driver’s space or prevent a secure connection of the GO device. In vehicles where the OBDII port is deeply recessed or awkwardly placed, this harness kit becomes essential.
Key Features and Benefits
- Universal Compatibility: Designed for use in most light, medium, and heavy-duty vehicles globally. This broad compatibility makes it a versatile choice for diverse fleets and individual vehicle owners.
- Extends GO Device Placement: The primary purpose of this kit is to extend the placement of your GO device. This is crucial when the factory OBDII port location is not ideal.
- Solves Accessibility Issues: Ideal for vehicles where the ALDL/OBD port is hard to reach or impedes the driver. The extension allows for relocating the GO device to a more convenient and less obtrusive location.
- Includes Multiple Adapters: Comes with 12 different mounting adapters, ensuring a fit for various vehicle makes and models. This adaptability is key to its universal nature.
- Standard Length: The harness has a length of 60 centimeters (approximately 24 inches), providing ample extension for most installation needs.
- Replaces Older Models: This kit replaces earlier models like HRN-BE16T2, HRN-BG16T2, HRN-BF16T2, HRN-BS16T2, and HRN-BT16T2, offering an updated and improved solution.
- Maximum Cable Length: Supports a maximum length of connected cables up to 2 meters (6.5 feet), offering further flexibility in installation.
While this kit is not specifically a 2016 F 150 Obd2-hub 9 Pin D Cable, its universal design and OBDII compatibility make it suitable for use with vehicles like the 2016 Ford F-150 that utilize the standard OBDII port. If you are looking to extend your OBDII port access for your 2016 F-150 or another vehicle, this universal kit provides a robust and adaptable solution. Always refer to the vehicle’s documentation and the GO device installation guides to ensure proper compatibility and installation procedures.
