This meant that the whole wiring loom for the car was changed to incorperate the new system. THis may be part of your problem, but ofcorse it may not be!

Might be an idea to request that people post the year of their cars and model number of dizzy???

Also a lot of ODB2 have key recognition (chip in the key) and thas why the wiring on the dizzys was changed.
