The OBD2 port is next to the centre tunnel on the passenger side, just under the plasic cover (just above the cargo net thing) - have a crawl around and you'll see it ok.

The OBDII port is on the passenger side. Its in the top of the footwell very close to the Radio. It faces downwards and is not covered. Grab a torch and you will see it.

Update is - the engine light went out for a while, but has recently come on again. I connected the OBD2 to the connector and it keeps saying linking error

Can't seem to find the bloody instructions for this thing now, anyone know what I am doing wrong?

Chances are you bought the wrong reader (like I did!) you need an EOBD2 like this one the CReader V

Yours is an 06 S2k, Honda updated the spec to EOBD2. You can pick one up on fleabay.

EDIT - non on ebay in the UK but loads if you search from £49 to £60
