OBD port position change?

[Bluenose]

Has the OBD port moved position from where it was on the S550?

Reason I ask is when I take my foot off the gas to move to the brake I keep catching the corner of the metal bracket that holds it in place. Not every single time, but often enough to be annoying.

This never happened on my 2021. That was a manual, where as my S650 is auto, not that it should matter.

I've only got size 10's and aren't driving in work boots with toecaps.

Anyone else having this problem. Really starting to piss me off.

50 views and no reply, guessing it only me. Maybe you all have girly feet.

Out of interest I just measured the shortest distance from the gas pedal to the port. Only 17cm which does seem rather close.

A size 10 shoe is about 30cm.

I'm a size 9 shoe and have never had any issue with this.

No problem here. I wear a 9.5 or 10.

Thanks for the replies although I am surprised no one else has this problem. Could my port have been installed to low?

No issue for me and I wear size 13

As I said earlier, I measured 17cm from the gas pedal to the bottom of the port bracket, at the closest point. If someone could measure the same on their car it would be greatly appreciated.

Size 11's here and no problems maybe your just a high stepper?

Can you post a picture yourself, showing a tape measure demonstrating what you are referring to?

Will do. For now, I measured in a straight line from the bottom of the metal bracket holding the OBD to the gas pedal with the tape touching both. Shortest distance.

Ok, here's the pic.

Gas pedal to corner of the port bracket 17cm.

Corner of the brake pedal to corner of the port bracket 12cm.

It's when I come off the gas and lift my foot to go to the brake I catch the OBD.
