00:00The Singus, OBD2 Fuel Saver is a compact plug-and-play electronic chip that interfaces
00:06directly with your vehicle's engine management system to correct this factory conservatism.
00:11Roughly the size of a standard USB thumb drive, it connects to the OBD2 onboard diagnostics
00:18port found in virtually all modern passenger vehicles. Since 1996, the United States Environmental
00:24Protection Agency mandated that all cars and light trucks sold in the country must feature
00:30a standardised OBD2 port. European manufacturers followed suit in 2001. This 16-pin connector
00:37is usually located under the dashboard, just below the steering wheel column. It is the
00:42exact same interface that professional mechanics use when they plug in their expensive diagnostic
00:48scanners to read error codes or check emissions. The engineers behind Singus realised that this
00:54mandatory port provided a direct window into the car's ECU. By designing a smart microchip
01:01that could communicate through this port, they could safely remap the engine's fuel delivery
01:06protocols without requiring drivers to undergo expensive, permanent mechanical modifications.
