The first thing I noticed is that on my truck, the OBD port is located in such a way that the cord hangs down right in front of the clutch pedal. I had to kind of twist my foot to reach the pedal with my toes. I also bumped the cord out with my leg once. I'm thinking about seeing if I can relocate the OBD port for convenience. Anybody else had this problem?

Mine's on the way. I thought this would be a problem, but I was waiting to see. I think you need to get an extender cable that has an "L" shape instead of sticking right out :

This ECS OBD II 6 foot extension cable allows you to place your connection out of the way of your legs on the driver's side of the car. This extension cable is 6 foot so it allows you to place your connection/laptop on the passenger side if necessary.

$29 sounds like too much. There's gotta be a cheaper cable ... Ah, fleabay :

$12 makes it useful for other things.
