355 obd ii help
Discussion
i m trying to connect a obd ii port to my 355. i have read http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a... and wired a socket.
my plug however does not work with my scanner. i have checked i have continutiy between all the pins and the new socket. I wondered if there was a difference as my car is a uk f1 spider and the picture i believe is from ferrari chat, a us car.
I have looked behind my drivers seat and seee there is a motronic unit with a plug with 3 wires hanging out. Is this where we in the uk connect to or do we still use the blue plug behind the passenger seat?

lifted this from Ferrarichat for you:
If it had an OBD2 plug, it would be located under the dash, but only USA spec cars will have OBD2 plugs.
As you have discovered, Euro-spec cars only have the 3-pin connectors for use with the factory dianostic computers.
All of the other systems (ABS, Climate control, etc) have their own 3-pin connectors for diagnostic purposes, even on the OBD2 compliant versions. Only the Motronic control unit is connected to the OBD2 connector.
