All,

I am trying to finish the installation of my automatic car starter and the final step is to plug in the system to the can bus so my keyless go will work, however I cannot find it. I did some searches and the only thing I found is that in the 2015 models and up are under the passenger seat but its not there for the 2012 so any help will be most appreciated.

Kinda sucks no one responded but for anyone looking for where the Can B connection is on their CLS it is on the passenger side of the car. you have to lift up the floor all the way down and on the side there is a bunch or wires running down the connector next to the door hinges. it took me a while to find it.
