Default Where diagnostic port located on our F ?

Anyone know where is OBD2 port located on our F? Trying to figure it out but can't find it. On my Gx470 it is located under steering wheel slightly to the left. To the F I need your guys help please.
Thanks!

Pretty much in the exact same place. You may not be looking/reaching far enough back towards the firewall. There's a dust cover on it.

Yeah the black cover on the OBD plug might be tricking you. On the "cover" of the plug I believe it says "OBDII". If if you haven't figured it out I can snap a pic when I get home.

^^^^Just went out and crawled under the dash Anyway attached is a pic. The circled part is the cover that I leave hanging down. The port is pointed straight down, and will be covered by that cap. I leave mine off so it's easier to find.

to be more precise if you need to locate it get a flash light, have the seat moved all the way back and just look underneath the dash on the driver side. meaning actually sticking your head underneath to look for it. or just reach around the area Lou provided from the post above...

Our F diagnostic port is suck. It is hard to find not like the other car. In my Gx470 it is easy to see it when you look at under the dash and no cover. Thank you Lou !

I think most Toyota's have the port in the same location (correct me if I'm mistaken).

Easy below the steering column, it has a cap on it so you need to take it off.

Anyone know what the port labeled MAP right next to it is for? Literally a map or something else?

It's for nav updates on the Gen 6 navigation.

Perhaps you should take a look at the owner's manual.
