Where is the OBDII port on a 500?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On-Board_Diagnostics.

Am shortly to place an order for a 500 and it will be nice to know that I can read basic diagnostics and fault codes with my VAG-Com lead in OBDII mode.

Helps keep one step ahead of the dealer

Interesting, rang them to arrange a test drive last week to be told they didn't have any in as they had sold them all. None would be available until three weeks time, great way to sell cars I thought.

Had a test drive the other day at D.Salmon in Colchester, they let it out that AMC had lost their Fiat franchise which was being taken over by a nearby Nissan dealer, Glyn hopkins.

The dealer we bought our Cinq Sporting from 13 years ago shortly afterwards lost the Fiat franchise for the 'painting a blue key red' fiasco featured on Watchdog!

Must be the water round here!

That's where I bought my 500. Very good deal and decent people.
