    I am planning on using a car location tracker that I used with my prior vehicle that mounts on the OBD II port, but the compatibility search of the product online shows - across several brands - that the FF is incompatible. Which I find hard to believe since the port is required by law here in the US, but at the same time I couldn't find any conclusive proof of its existence in the FF in a few online searches either.

    So I would like to turn to the experts here on this forum for guidance in helping locate & provide instructions for access (if I need to take any panels off) for the OBD II port.

    Thank you very much in advance for your help!

    You have a second one hidden behind the panels on the body ECU.

    It's located inside the car. Just look above to the OBD connector there is a ECU with a couple of connectors. Between the connector sits a OBD connector that can be used if you don't like to expose the tracker. You may need to remove a panel that's hold by two screws to get full access.

    Found it... above and left to the brake pedal, no need to worry about exposing tracker so plugged it in there (instead of finding the other "hidden" port), device/app (Automatic Pro) correctly registered the car as an FF. Thanks for all your help!

    i have a CARLY universal adaptor. It will work on all my cars, but i won't fit the grey one you have shown. i thought all cars had to have the same port
