Title: OBD2 Scanner for i30 FD
Post by: smashbie on February 13, 2020, 00:39:13

Hi all,

I'm looking at getting an OBD2 scanner for the i30 FD. I have an 09 i30 FD SX Manual Hatch. I can't seem to find where the OBD2 module would connect to.

I looked at the fuse box and under the steering wheel where the pedals are but couldn't find it.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Don’t you have a fuse panel inline with drivers right knee when seated?

you were close with steering column and foot pedals. Line you hand up with the dimmer / esp switch panel and run it back toward the edge of that trim, just as it ends, should be pretty close on get on your knees and have a look :goodjob2:

It's not part of the fuse panel, it's where tw said all by itself. I have a $2.50 eBay Bluetooth LM327 and works fine with many apps on my phone.

Does that include postage? I'm disappointed you paid that much!  :faint:
