The OBD-II Diagnostic Connector The OBD-II specification provides for a standarized hardware interface—the female 16-pin (2×8) J1962 connector. Unlike the OBD-I connector, which was sometimes found under the hood of the vehicle, the OBD-II connector is always located on the driver’s side of the passenger compartment near the center console. SAE J1962 defines the pinout of the connector as:
1- 2 Bus positive Line of SAE-J1850 3- 4 Chassis ground 5 Signal ground 6 CAN high (ISO 15765-4 and SAE-J2234) 7 K line of ISO 9141-2 and ISO 14230-4 8- 9- 10 Bus negative Line of SAE-J1850 11- 12- 13- 14 CAN low (ISO 15765-4 and SAE-J2234) 15 L line of ISO 9141-2 and ISO 14230-4 16 Battery voltage
Do you own a motor home? Have you noticed that there is often a “buzz” in the air from all the on-board appliances and electricity? You may want to build yourself a simple grounding device. Something you can secure quickly and protect your motor home from electrical fire and also get rid of the buzzing sounds, which are barely audible, but you can feel them.
Grounding you motor home is a smart thing to do, as it will improve the life of your AC appliances, such as Televisions, microwaves and computers. But it will also improve your ability to sleep at night and make your motor home safe from fires.

Alrightee! So, you’re off to installing all of the big-time components to your stereo system. I know you really really really want to skip the boring parts (like running wires), and go straight to installing the components, and turning on your system. Nnnnnno!
