The easy solution to the dozen wires is this:
- Don't use the ScanGauge's OBD connector.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the SG have a standard RJ45 plug on the other end of its OBD cable? So, you know it only uses 8 wires. Now, cut the end off an ethernet patch cable and run it down to the back side of your car's OBD port. There, splice it into the OBD port's wires only where necessary. It's easy if you use something like 3m Scotch-Lok quick splices:
Lots of people have had bad experiences with those connectors damaging wires but I haven't.
My concern: Don't OBDII devices communicate two-way with the car's OBDII system? If so, can it communicate with two devices?
