OBD connector

In the case of the 993 the answer depends on what year the car is. The early 993 used the same variant OBD1 system from the 964 and carried over the 19-pin round connector. The later 993 moved over to the OBDII system with the 16-pin rectangular connector.

I'm afraid I don't have the specific details of the changeover date (being a 964 owner) but I'm sure somebody else will know.

Looks a cool device to have - I'm tempted - but we know from people's (including mine) attempts to get the 993 OBDII to talk to standand diagnostic equipment that it is quite quirky - ie it does work, but only when the signals are sent and received with the right timing. Durametric have now got the 993 mastered (or at least the "later" 993), but it has taken them many software revisions to get there. I'd be worried that this standard data logger, designed to work with standard OBDII, would not work out-of-the-box on the 993s.

Like Dave, I'm not sure of the date change -but it's quite likely the 1995/1996 model boundary which was the change of quite a few things. (I guess you could call it the start of the "993 GenII" in 997 language!)

If you buy one and it works I like to hear about it.
 
What shape is the OBD connector on the later normally aspirated UK 993s? I know all turbos world wide are OBD-II compliant but curious about the normally aspirated cars.
 
Mine (1996) is the same shape as the Johnny's link - ie it's similar to (but not same as) a TV SCART socket (older ones are round)
 
If it helps, it looks like PET calls up the cover for the round 19-pin plug ONLY for the 1994 Model Tear so I'm guessing that it's only the first production year for the 993. The round connector is situated behind the passenger side footwell trim wheras the 16-pin rectangular connector is up under the steering wheel (I think!!).
