The only dumb question is the one you don't ask.

Right below steering column. Look back past trim and up.

Feel around with your hand. You will find it there. I can't seem to get my body twisted around enough anymore to see it, just have to feel your way.

Yea, I have to feel around to hook up the HPTuners; I just can't quite squeeze my body all down in there like some apparently can

It's under there. You'll have to just feel around to find it.
Pretend that you're 16, out parking with a girl in the back seat of a car and trying to undo her bra strap.

The OBD port is mounted so you plug into it vertically. So its sort of hanging downward although mounted. As mentioned several times, just feel for it with your hand, middle of the bottom knee bolster.

There is a slot in the trim piece under the steering column. The port is there.

Remove you ignition key, drop it on the carpet, pick it up with your teeth and then rotate your head 82-degrees clockwise and there it is!

Since it's been seven years since the question was asked, am sure he was able to find it, unless he is still stuck under the steering wheel.
