Taking into account that I don't need the cable to stay permanently on, I trimmed my cable that the "T" shape is no more stopped on exit (removing the plastic bond between that area and the rest of the connector did the job). It makes the connection less strong, but I never had any issue to remove my cables while it is enough for proper coding.

I was thinking of the same thing , so I went ahead and cut the "T" clip on the cable like in your picture. I'm now able to connect/disconnect the cable a lot easier. The cable can connect to the ODB port pretty securely w/o the clip. Thanks for sharing.
