OBD 2 Socket in the Car?
Is there a 16 pin OBD Socket in the car? I see a rectangular outline near the hood release but wanted to know if that was it?
Thanks
Thanks

Taken a picture. I don't think I have one - this is sealed unless I cut it?

That dorsn't look like it.
Mine is on the right side, under the steering wheel and right above the driver's side vent. It should have a covered plastic cover on it with a lip to snap off the cover.

I believe the OBDII standard is for US-market vehicles only, I however could be wrong. On my 98 C43 it's below the steering wheel, on the horizontal portion parallel to the floor it has a hinged cover on it and is readily visible.
Barflux, if I took the photo you took of the same area on my vehicle. It would be clearly visible, I don't think you have an OBD outlet on your UK-spec vehicle.

OBD-II standards say the port has to be within 3 feet of the driver, inside the cabin and needs to be accessible without any special tools... but I guess it's different for the UK. I've seen manufacturers hide the things behind flaps and ashtrays and stuff, so who knows...
