Generally, it is located above the left foot pedal for most models. Below is some relevant information about the Lingpai: 1. Introduction: The Lingpai is a brand-new strategic mid-size sedan under GAC Honda, specifically designed to meet the comprehensive needs of post-80s consumers as a mainstream compact car. It has a wheelbase of 2650mm. The vehicle dimensions are 4664mm1750mm1505mm. 2. Fuel Consumption: The trunk capacity is 588L. The fuel consumption ranges from 6.2 to 6.5 liters per 100 kilometers. The fuel tank capacity is 47L. The engine type is a water-cooled, transverse inline 4-cylinder/16-valve/SOHC/i-VTEC. The standard seating capacity is 5 people. The top speed exceeds 195km/h. The drivetrain is front-engine, front-wheel drive.

I remember helping a friend locate the OBD port on the Lingpai before. It's right below the steering wheel. If you crouch down and look above the accelerator pedal, there's a black plastic cover about the size of a palm - a rectangular box. Pry open the cover to reveal the 16-pin diagnostic port. When I connected the diagnostic tool myself last time, I noticed the port is hidden about three fingers' width to the left of the fuse box, where the wiring harness is quite concentrated - don't yank it forcefully. By the way, the Lingpai's port position is slightly lower than the Accord's, so using your phone's front camera as a light source makes searching easier. The manual actually has a schematic diagram, which makes locating it pretty quick.

When working on cars, I often come across the Lingpai, whose OBD port is located right in front of the driver's knee. To be specific, it's under the steering column, and you can easily spot the dust cover with clips by looking down. Both the new and old models have it in the same spot, but the hybrid version has more wiring harnesses that can block the view. Some customers say they can't find it, but it's usually because the floor mat is too thick and covers the port. A quick reminder: don't use excessive force when plugging in the diagnostic tool, as bending the pins can cause trouble. The location is quite convenient compared to some German cars where you have to crawl under the seat to find it.

The OBD interface of the Lingpai is located below the left side of the center console on the driver's side. Three-point positioning: first, look to the lower right of the steering wheel; second, find the right side of the accelerator pedal; third, locate it 5 cm above the brake light switch. It features a standard 16-pin trapezoidal interface with a flip cover, and newer models have a trapezoidal groove to prevent reverse insertion. Remember to turn off the engine when connecting a HUD or programming. Tests show the location remains unchanged from the 2019 to 2023 models, though some modification shops may add an extension cable leading to the storage box.

Last time my bestie asked the same question, it took us five minutes to find it: Just sit in the driver's seat and reach under the steering column, around knee height. There's a black plastic cover with 'Honda' lettering—pry it open with your fingernail to reveal the pin connector. Be careful not to confuse it with the fuse box; the port is about 10 cm to the left. Some female owners with full-coverage floor mats might have the port covered—just lift the mat's edge to access it. You'll know it's properly connected when you hear a click during insertion/removal.

After driving the Lingpai for five years, the OBD port is located in the area between your knees and the steering wheel. Look down at the plastic trim panel beneath the instrument cluster, find a recessed area about the size of a matchbox, and flip open the dust cover to reveal it. The position is well-designed, much better than some cars where you have to crawl around to find it. Last time when connecting a tire pressure monitor, I noticed that models with auto start-stop have an additional signal wire next to the port. A reminder for modification enthusiasts: For long-term external device connections, it's best to use a right-angle adapter to avoid kicking the wiring harness during turns.
