I just realized that single wire connector will need to be modified to match the extension cable.
Why wasn't this connected to the 90 degree end?

I don't have the 90* connector and leave mine plugged in. It's not really needed, but sure looks cleaner.

Never thought of that. Engineering whoops. I'd suggest not using the extension cable. There should be plenty of room for your leg with it plugged in normally. If not, extending the wire isn't THAT big of a deal, but is inconvenient.

Since I already bought it, I'll use it. I'll look for a clean way to make this work.I think I'll make intermediate single wire with quick connects on both ends and put this and extension cable in a sleeve before tucking it away.

I bought the 1.3U cable. Can I select the 2.0 cable and have it work still?

Probably not. I've only used the 2.0.

I'm learning as I go. Will browse evoscan site for crash coarse because reading threads are too slow. Reading 50+ pages to find things still not resolved is nuts.

Works with all of them. I've used my 2.0 on Evos 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 10.

Cool. I'll play with all the settings.
So far, evoscan has not impressed me yet. It looks like I have a lot of setting up and customizing to do to display useful info for my use. It's kind of overwhelming at this point.

I use it often to diagnose any issues, just click what boxes I want logged click start and GO
