I thought that I share my latest discovery on connecting cheap Bluetooth OBD2 reader to the PCX. All you need is:
-cable from here
https://www.lonelec.co.uk/Honda-4pin-OBD2-Adaptor

-Generic Bluetooth OBD2 transmiter/reader
-Torque app
You plug the cable to PCX red service port next to the battery and that's it.
You can read all the data available without expensive gauges.

Thx!

What year PCX do you have I have a 2013 but I'm swapping the drivetrain on to a Ruckus I ordered one of those plugs a week or two ago and haven't seen it

Doesn't work on 2017.

I bought the Kitaco Adapter and the ELM BT scanner. No data is transferred thru the Kitaco. my ELM scanner works flawlessly on my car.

I also tried another plug and play aRacer Display but no data. Waiting to hear back from aRacer for a firmware update to get it to work.

There is a wire difference from info found searching google - or at least one pin one end does not mate the same way all the time to the other connection - not sure what is correct in any circumstance. Be good if people get it working for a certain year range of PCX to show all the parts and links that are known to work.

This topic comes up every now and it seems all (most?) people other than the original poster do not get it working.

Aldi (UK) have their XS branded OBDII on sale again 31st Dec - some have luck using it on cars, many don't. No idea if it will work with the PCX - probably not as success rate seems to be very low no matter what adapter and reader.

For all the posts on a working OBD solution for the PCX, and there has been about three over the past few years, most except the starter of a thread seem to have no luck at all - even accounting for the differences in wiring of general OBD devices and the PCX (the data line is often on another pin, images and comparisons have been posted but alas it seems to make no difference).

Strange, as some should have got it working but none but the originators of these threads seem to have any luck on PCX's.

No luck at all. I gave up on getting an OBDII reader to work on my PCX.

Off a link from the webpage shown in the 1st post, at the bottom of a software sales page it states:
1 Only reading of Keihin based ECUs is supported at this time.
2 Most (if not all) R8C based ECUs with a memory offset of 0x8000 can not be read via K-line.
3 Only works official HRC ECUs.
No idea what this means esp. with regard the PCX and orginal ECU, but googling off this snippet I found:
https://www.alientech-news.com/en/k-suite-4-13/ which lists the PCX 150 and off that:
https://www.alientech-shop.com/product/144300k270/
Gave up at this point as waiting for guinea pig to risk it - ha!
