Yeah, look in front of the shifter between the heated seat buttons. the little 'tray' on the bottom, reach your hand in there and you'll feel that there is a lip, just give it a pull and the tab will pop out. Plug is behind that.

On my CLS and I expect all acuras, as you sit in the drivers seat, reach under the dash outside your right leg. It should be just under the plastic dash close to the center console.

mine is an 03 auto tl, and it is under the dash as mentioned


i think from 03 and on or so, the government started cracking down on the placement of the OBDII ports, cause it is suppose to be standardrized for ALL cars, so the reason for the change of location

you do kinda learn where they are over the years, but yeah when you see a different car, it is like "where the f*** is it???"

like on a volvo a couple of weeks ago, it was in the armrest storage compartment, so you had to open the armrest to even see the plug, let alone it had a little cover over it also

hahah, well actually it got caught between pull-down coin tray at the back and w/e is on top, cause when i went to close the coin tray it was 1/4 inch from closing properly... so i went on an excursion to move it, and in doing so the loonie has now become one with the CL

Location on the MT6 is a bit of a pain. My Bluetooth dongle is a bit big and almost hits my leg when it's plugged in while driving. I use it with my iPhone and AppRadio 3.
