More info - I got the wiring info - no twisted pair wiring - 4 wires.
Pink is B+, black/green is ground, blue/white is ignition + (switched)
and the purple/yellow is the body computer buss.
Apparently the OBD connector pin 2 is the buss, 4 and 5 are ground,
and 16 is fused B+, co only the Ign+ needs to be connected from
elsewhere for testing.

Now the only question is will it work on the PT? (and can I make it
fit in th roof/headliner)?
