Cannot comply with ELD mandate in New model Volvo trucks. Incorrect data port .. obd2 not round !!!

They do. It is the spider cable.

 

I have it but my issue is that it is much too short. The standard 6 or 9 pin cables are 6' long the spider cable is almost 3 and the way it runs through the dash it makes mounting the unit tight. Went to the RM web site to find a longer cable and it dose not exist.

 

Start a conversation with me about this

 

i guess i don't need ELD per fmcsa because my truck titled as 2000 , manufactured in 1999 and per dot if the engine is 1999 and older i don't need it
correct me if I'm wrong

 

That's the current guidance. I'd verify the engine date of course. If the engine is a 99 you are good on paper logs.

 

Keeptrucking got the right one ...

 

Trucks with older engines exempt from ELD mandate, FMCSA says

I would suspect since the truck/engine is titled as 2000 you will have to comply.

However, if a truck’s model year is older than 2000, but the engine model year is 2000 or newer, the driver is still required to adhere to the ELD mandate.

 

This is BigRoad's DashLink AOBRD/ELD device for Volvo.

 

I would ask them if all protocols are met for the ELDs. I suspect not for the port
