It depends on the model and year as to whether the port is actually OBD2 compliant but it is under the dashboard by the drivers left knee.

Thanks! I will assume my 2011 is compliant then. Will feel around for the port later tonight. :)

Saw a post on a local forum where a guy attached a OBD2 Bluetooth Adapter to that port and accessed all sorts of engine readouts (displayed in gauge form) via the Torque android app on his android tablet. Hoping to be able to do this for my own Jimny... should be lots neater than installing actual gauges on or around the dashboard!

Cheers Martin, will have to have a little looksee at that. ;)

I thought it was my reader that was at fault at first but after plugging it in various other vehicles etc, it works perfectly.

Must be one of those borderline Zooks? :laugh:

Thanks.

I looked under my dashboard briefly this morning, and couldn't find the OBD2 port. :(

Could it be that the factory in Japan excludes this port (as it does with the ABS and airbags) when it assembles CBU units for the Philippines?
