UK OBDII connector Location

Hi there...

Was wondering if anyone knows where the OBDII connector can be found on the 2009 RX8 (R3)?

Im in the process of buying a OBDII Scanner and display and this would kinda be pointless if i cant find where to hook it all up...


Advice appreciated....

Did you have any luck locating this, it would appear that it is located in a different location on a 2003 RX8 because mine is now where to be seen

It's underneath the latch that opens up the front hood of the car, it should be there.

Where are you looking? You have to remove the glove box, it's behind there.

OK so, here we go...

After about 2 hours i found the bloody thing !!

In the 2003 , Right hand drive Japan import it is NOT located behind the glove department, nor is it on the steering column. You can access it with out removing any kick panels, if you look at the kick panel which covers the steering column and look to right side of the seam you will see it it is near the bottom, but is part of the lower right dash about the same level as the bonnet opener but close to the right hand join of the kick panel.

After all that the error code was a p0410, so i looked at the 2ndary air pump and low and behold there was a vacuum pipe off the actuator which as since fixed my engine light issue ! I love how temperament these cars are, it just adds to what i love about them
