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

as far as i knew there isnt and odb1 to odb2 coversion option you have to upgrade to a stand alone or use a piggyback system then use there connectors even if you can get a converter like a serial connection cable there still isnt an app that you can use to read anything from an odb1 system if you can solve all the other problems though i can make the app so basiclly if yall can figure out how to send the signal from the odb1 to bluetooth ill write the app for it
