gentlemen, thank you both, all is working perfectly now.
thx also for pointing out the /lib/udev/rules.d/*, i had only been looking in /etc/udev/rules.d for details.
new fishing technique Greatly appreciated, jackc...

Yup, that's the device you need to be modifying.
and lsusb's view of the world, ...
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 058f:6335 Alcor Micro Corp. SD/MMC Card Reader
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 13fe:1f00 Kingston Technology Company Inc. DataTraveler 2.0 4GB Flash Drive
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 005 Device 002: ID 0b05:b700 ASUSTek Computer, Inc.
Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 003 Device 002: ID 1808:5555 Multiplex Engineering OBDII to USB Interface
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 046d:c526 Logitech, Inc.
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
the rule i am trying to make work, ...
BUS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="1808", ATTRS{idProduct}=="5555", NAME="obdii", MODE="0666"
note i removed the SYMLINK bit as that was a shot in the dark on my part thinking well,
maybe if i added the SYMLINK, it would link /dev/obdii to /dev/bus/usb/003/002, but that didnt work.
It sounds like Jack is looking for the proper udev rule to force
/dev/bus/usb/003/002 to be created with 0666 permissions. It's not
clear whether he wants /dev/obdii to be a separate device node, to be a
symlink to the original node, or not to exist at all.
Based on the existing libusb rule in
/lib/udev/rules.d/50-udev-default.rules, it looks like this should do
the trick:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ACTION=="add", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device",
ATTRS{idVendor}=="1808", ATTRS{idProduct}=="5555", MODE="0666"
(all on one line, of course). And it should be in a file within
/etc/udev/rules.d numbered higher than 50, so that it applies _after_
the default rule.
