What is this?

[petejleonard]

This socket is in the drivers footwell on my 05/06 2.0 Petrol.

Any idea what it is?

Diagnostics plug in point maybe?

I don't think so as I have also noticed a plug in the passenger footwell which is has a cover with "diagnostic" written on it.

Could it be that's the standard diagnostic socket and the other one is Mazda specific?

Looks more like a SCART socket! but difficult to see precisely doesn't look standard whatever.

It really does look like a scart socket!

There was one of those Japanese electronic toll collection devices under the steering wheel which I have just taken out. But I'd be surprised if it was connected to that.

Ah. After you mentioned that I had a google for diagnostic sockets and it looks like it could be an "OBD2" socket. Thanks.

I have one of these under the drivers footwell too, now i had hoped at first glance that this was an odb2 port but mine was rectangle in shape rather than trapeze, which could indicate odb(1) as that was rectangular. Gonna have to have another look now.

Can you get a pic face on so we can see the shape of yours?

Yes that is certainly what it looks like.How many have terminals?
The other diagnostic socket on the nearside is it just a cover or can you see any connectors in the nearside one?

I struggled to get a decent front on picture of the (possible) OBD2 socket.
The one in the passenger footwell has connectors.

Interesting
Have you followed the cables out the back of it to see where they go

Are you LPG converted ?

This image is from a 2.0ltr of the Mazda diagnostic socket,yours appears to have one less pin in this socket.
Your other appears to be K line OBD.
I thought for it to function it needed a low line signal pin too.
Geoff will know more.

Edit
Actually it doesn't need pin 15 to function.

Any chance you can put an image up of your socket Redrocket and your Mazda diagnostic one also?
What year and model do you have?
