Under the dash left of the column sort of where you'd expect a hood release to be. Its covered by a small hinged hard plastic snap down cover.

Thank you, guys! Any recommendation on a reader? I'm thinking about getting one that hooks up to PC either via USB or bluetooth. Pros and Cons ? Appreciate it!

Thank you for the offer! I understand the convenient factor in a hand held device, but I imagine a PC reader would be more flexible in terms of upgrading software, even choice of software packages. So, I'm leaning towards a PC config. Thanks!
