Looks like what’s left of one of those generic Bluetooth OBD adapters. Use a thin flathead to pry it out
Looks like something is plugged into it. Is there any kind of aftermarket screen on the dash? Try getting behind the black trim behind the circuit board and pulling all that out.
You can see where someone had been trying to yank it out with pliers. It’s chewed up on the top and bottom, then they said “screw it…it lives there now.”

Correct. Something that was plugged into it is broke off. Gently get up under it, preferably something plastic and ease it out of there.
I believe this is the case as well but I just wanted to add, if you don’t have something plastic that is stiff enough, please disconnect the battery and wait a few minutes before using a flathead screwdriver to get it out.
You should be able to swap it, but you’ll need the wire layout as they sell generic replacement OBD-II
Pull that bit out using a flat tip screw driver its from a broken obd device… looks tike the piece broke off whilst the person was pulling out the obd
Looks like a scan tool broke off , Disconnect battery and use something to get it out of there
Its the broken connector to some aftermarket obd device. Just pull it out. Grab it from the sides. Dont touch pin 16 with 4&5 at the same time. May get a little shock
It’s a OBD2 adapter that connects to your phone pull it out It’s broken It’s not the actual OBD2 port
Lol, pull the Bluetooth reader off the receptacle.
…it’s broken. lol
It’s not broken. That’s not even the obd port. That’s an accessory plugged into the port that is broken… whatever it was is still plugged in to the port. Port is fine definitely not broken.
You’re actually right.
You should be seeing empty pins. That’s all the harness is…they crimp the ends on then slam it into the plastic port (the part you see)
Whatever was plugged in here is fucked up. Gently pull it out. It’s just like a socket.
Probably a Allstate/ car insurance data logger or cheapo scan tool busted off in the socket. Some patience with picks and small flat blade screwdriver should get it out.
I’d use a screw or a hot soldering iron to melt a hole so that the tip of a screw can catch into it without going too far in if the flat heads don’t work
Pull it out and throw it away
