Default Diagnostic Port???

Hey Guys,

I have just recieved Kevin's unit and I can't seem to plug it into the diagnostic port.

Is there any special trick to it?

Does the port have a cap on it or do I need to force it??

You kind of have to force it a little bit and then it will lock in there. There is no cap. You're going to enjoy the extra power!

Just to confirm before I force the issue.

The Diagnostic port is the violet colour port on the left side of the car under the glovebox?

My port was to the left of the steering wheel under the dash. I have a 2002 996TT.

Ummm Errrr??

I know that I will never win this debate so "YES" it is on the wrong side of the car.

I forced the Unit and presto I got lights!!

Already back in the Post and waiting for Dr Kev to work his magic!!!
