Default How to use OBDI key

I have a 93 coupe and have been using a wire to read codes. Someone suggested that I get an OBD I key from Advance Auto which I did. My problem is it won't go into the ignition key so where does it go so I can give up the wire.

Have you been reading codes by sticking the wire into the ignition switch?

The "key" goes in the connector under the dash. It's just an overpriced wire. It goes in the exact same two places the wire did.

Ok I understand it is a substatute for the wire so Do I just push it in connector on right side or left side next to upper right or lower left. I am sorry but I am mentally challanged by all this.
