What John said,

And what is an OBD connecter?
Is an OBD2 connector a double adaptor for ODB connectors?

OBD-II
OBD-II is a standard interface to the on-board computer of a vehicle, introduced in the mid-1990s. The California Air Resources Board (CARB) mandated that the specification be adopted for all cars sold in the United States by the year 1996 in order to simplify the implementation of an emissions testing program (see CCR Title 13 Section 1968.1 and 40 CFR Part 86 Section 86.094). An OBD-II interface allows for the readout of DTCs (Diagnostic Trouble Codes) that have been generated by the on-board computer, as well as realtime data from the sensors connected to the on-board computer. In addition, the OBD-II interface provides a means to clear the DTC list once maintenance has been completed. For a list of generic OBD-II DTCs, see Table of OBD-II Codes. Individual manufactures have been known to enhance the OBD-II code set with a host of proprietary DTCs.

Cheers

Patrols don't have OBDII connector, cause they don't sell them in the USA...
