sorry for crackin the joke, i just had to. you mean OBD, not ODB. it stands for On Board Diagnostics. i can imagine its in the steering column area, i remember it not being too hard to find mine(although my car isnt jdm, but i dont see why they'd change it around, but i might be wrong). im pretty sure it will be within 18 inches of the steering column

hope this helped

Look under the steering column, you should find the plug right there. I'm sure it the exact same with with right hand drive cars.

Now that is totally and utterly incorrect. Or at least it was yesterday night when I flashed my car.

Except you don't use the OBD port to flash . I know it was a slip just giving you a hard time.

I looked at some logs/maps from the JDM ones there when I was home too. Not sure how I did it, if they didn't have the port .

Well it depends if you are talking about the physical port ( which I was) or the logical port. So what do you call the connector into which you plug the Tactrix cable? This is the same one you run Scantech thought right?

I meant from the physical sense. The white connector is the one used to flash. The black one is the OBD connector that is used to log.

Isn't the white connector a power point? The data itself going down the black connector.
