obd port location?

[Roylewaa]

Just a quickie, had a quick look on the forum and can't find anything

Where is the diagnostic port on the 6th gen?

Cheers for any info

Apparently some 6 Gens don't have them, if yours does its in the passenger footwell, to the right hand side. You should see the carpet has a notch so you can ease it out.

Just checked, ive got 1 on my 2001 1.8 vtec sport. Any ideas what type of lead i would need to connect to my samsung galaxy note 2 and use the Torque app?

I bought a bluetooth dongle from an Amazon third party (can't rem what supplier) http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/offer-listing/B004KL0I9I/ref=dp_olp_new_mbc?ie=UTF8&condition=new

You might want to buy from one 'Fulfilled by Amazon' as the returns are likely to be less problematic if its a bit dodgy. Some folk say the disc that comes with it is virus ridden, but as its not needed (if using Torque) I just binned it without even looking at it.

Nice one matey

Torque seems a cool little App...I bought it outright as it was only £4 or so last year.

You can monitor and record some data, like this RPM amongst other things lol

Paper clip in to one of the blue plugs that are located under the dash. Passenger side. There is a guide on here. try a search for paper clip method

My X-Plater doesn't have one, weirdly.
