No

If you want a switched facilty then add an OBD port connector that offers a time out facility

I’ve only used jacks on the pucks on either side…

ok no problem will do some measuring tomorrow

I have a low trolley jack, but even though it will fit under the car, there is no room to operate the handle to jack it up until I raise one side with an ordinary jack first.

I didn't know this, so just a heads up for others. When I first got the car, I installed a Bluetooth ODBII reader and left it in place. This eventually drained and killed my battery.
