    lot’s of people have this Zoe on a 2 or 3 yrs PCP; drilling holes / soldering MIGHT not be an option?

    i have nothing against hacking my ‘own’ car as i even did a complicated TOD 4×4 modification on a Kia Sorento i had years back. but my Zoe is just a 2 yrs rental box so i personally keep my toolbox closed 😉

    I’ve just ordered this adapter: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/151753972025

    I know this is an old thread, but be careful buying from the seller above on ebay.
    My KW902 arrived dead and the seller is not willing to give me my money back because he says its incompatible with ALL renault’s, so its my fault for buying it in the first place.

    Strange as that is the seller I got mine from, looks just as the pic and it works ok on my Zoe.
    Is the Red LED not lighting when you press the button? I had a problem getting it to communicate but that was resolved with software the CanZE guys suggested.

    When I plugged it in. A red light flashed once and then off and never came on again no matter how much I unplugged and plugged it in. No other lights have ever turned on. I also tried it on my wife Fiat 500x just to see if my OBD2 port was broke on my Zoe, but no lights turned on in the Fiat 500x.
    I tried to search for bluetooth devices just incase the lights are just broke but the device is working. Couldnt find anything from either car.

    I even mentioned this thread to the seller showing people are wanting the same device (free advertising for him haha).
    The reply I got from ebay seller walkintome was

    Renault and Fiat needs specialized tools. This is Not Applicable.

    I tried to order from them too and asked them to confirm that it was a type 2 as specified by canze but email communication was poor and they finally said the Elm327 would not work with Zoe.
    So I ordered the same item from http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261931008601 and it works fine.
    Good luck.

    My adapter also came from that eBay seller, and it works fine with the ZOE. It sounds like your adapter is truly faulty. I suggest that you try it on any other cars you can in order to prove that it’s not just a ‘Renault and Fiat’ incompatibility, then put it into dispute with eBay.
