It's in the centre console. Looks like an OBD2, but it isn't compatible with OBD2 readers. You will need a code reader from Loki on the forum. It works on the same blink process

They read the codes in the same way as the undr bonnet boxes.

I made one built into an ODBII connector using the minimum amount of components, wired up the same as gpl1968's picture.

It is inside the arm rest cubby, there is a small section of flocked trim inside the bottom that you will need to use a small flat blade to flick out.

That begs the question - why do you need to check the codes?
