I have no idea what a AFM disabler is or where it goes.
But yes, it plugs into the OBDII port.

Do you happen to still have the packaging for those lights?
Walmart and Sam's pricing is such that anything ending in .01 is a clearance item.
I'd love to find a set of these.
What did you wire them to?

The AFM disabler does plug into the same OBD2 port as the bluetooth dongle. If you wanted to run both simultaneously, you'd just have to purchase a Y-cable for the OBD2 jack which gives you two ports off of your one. But save your money on the AFM disabler until you've tried your VTC first. You will be very surprised by the performance of that device.

What Did You Do To Your Camaro Today?

I will check my big trash can outside, they may be on top. The price was 29.92 with tax it was 32.01. I wired them to the positive terminal under the hood and grounded to a nut used to secure my cold air intake. It's all wired to a switch I ran through the top of the fender to the inside of the door. I also have a 10 amp fuse between the source and the switch

Found it! It won't let me post pic

I was once wondering about the AFM disabler and the VTC as well but after researching the idea I understand the OBDII port can only receive instructions from once device at a time regardless of a Y adapter which I had thought of as well.The 2 devices would be fighting each other for communications with your car. I already have the VTC and I can testify it's definitely a game changer.It can be used to de-tune Bee if ya like to save some gas so you don't get those jack-rabbit take offs on a Sunday drive or you can dial it up and make it very sensitive so you can really launch it lol. Believe me you won't be disappointed.

Yea I seen that with the economy settings it has on it, I think it goes to EC7. I'm really looking forward to it, I love driving that car. The wife always says, "what car are we taking" then when I respond she says "of course, you love driving this car.." haha though it's garage kept I take it out every chance I can. I'm. It really to concerned about gas, it's not the daily driver. When the whole family goes out we have to take the Ford SUV boooooo! So not fun haha

I have a Y-adapter for my OBDII port but I am using it for my window valet which is only used when it's parked so there is no communication problem with the Camaro's computer.

Window valet?
I just looked it up. That's pretty cool...
I'd really like to get rid of my factor radio set up and get something more visually appealing...

Yeah I thot of that too but was kinda hoping another adapter interface would show up on the market for our cars. I don't really like the two options that are available to add an aftermarket head unit and as I recall one of the two designs has had some issues, can't remember which one it was off hand tho.

I can understand that, I wouldn't want defective equipment that only looks nice but doesn't function... I really dig the setup in the 2016's with all the functions it's able to perform with touch screen. I'm not even hip to what the 2017 offer as of yet.....
