OBD-II is a set of standards and practices defined by SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) in the early 1990s. But some automobile manufactures do not follow it completely. Therefore, ATrack cannot guarantee each vehicle’s OBD-II connected performance. For more information about the AX9 OBD-II compliance, please refer to the “ATrack AX Series OBD-II Compliant Guide” document for details.
AX9 is connected to your laptop/PC via a Mini USB cable, the OBD-II and GSM/GPRS functions are switched off unless the main power is applied to the AX9 at the same time. The following figure shows the position of AX9’s USB port.
