The Ver2 units had an OBD2 that goes straight to the COBB unit without an adapter dongle...it should plug into the COBB unit if you have the correct parts.

I can post a picture if needed later

Yes you need it to install. Usually when someone sells a used AP, they have to uninstall it from their car first, was this done?

Okay I just confirm that the version I have don't come with a dungle, it's the newer version. The only problem now is that I can't get it to connect with the ecu, in others words, I can't get it to go to the install option when I plug it in. It will just go to monitor. But I can read readings on the monitor options. Any suggestion fellas? I'm beginning to rule out that the seller didn't properly had it unmarried. Hmmm.

That sucks man.
