OBD question Options

[MisterRay]

I plan on installing a Google Nexus 7 2 in my car after i've finished with a friends car so i have a full infotainment centre in there. done plenty of research and have come up with a couple of design ideas for it (but that is a story for another time) one of the things i want the tablet in there for is so i can connect my phone or tablet via bluetooth to the OBD and get basic digital speedo/mpg/other crap. this where i am having a problem.

this may sound like a silly question and probably get dismissed very quickly. its also a long shot...

my OBD port is located under the hood. i am pretty sure it is an OBD1 port. when i put the connector in (via a lexus diagnostic tool extension cable) i cant close the hood. is it possible to relocate the obd port (fairly easily) into the car? or better yet... can i change the port to the obd 2 port and install it somewhere in the car? has it been done before?

insight on the subject would be very helpful.

p.s i may need the top half of the centre console trim for a RHD lol

Yeah. you can actually hear the difference between Bluetooth and aux lol plus my head unit allows me to connect a lot of Devices at once without an issue so it's perfect.

I'm on this forum to take and share ideas so borrow whatever you like lol jus let me know how it turns out if u give it a go. I have to wait till mid July before I start as I get the tablet as a bday present unfortunately.
