OBD2 port location in a 2007 DB9?

[NTEL]

I've looked in the drivers foot well and can only find one port which is next to the footwell light. I have tried plugging the reader into this but it will not communicate so I assume it is the "body" port.

I've looked all over the place but I cannot find another. Can somebody give me a clue where else to look?

Look harder! They are side by side.

Same relative location, but in the pssenger footwell. Normally, the OBD port would be on the driver's side and the body port on the passenger's side, so you may in fact be connected to the OBD port and just cannot communicate with it.

...or employ a mirror (rather than a minor!)?

Done that already. If its there then its well hidden. I'll have another look tomorrow evening. Thanks anyway gents.

This is the only one I can find

Ahhhh.....comparing that photo I took earlier with the circuit diagrams I notice a couple of yellow wires. Only the power train OBD port has yellow wires, according to the schematics, so it would appear that my reader isn't compatible. I'll try a different one tomorrow.

During some model years the ports were side-by-side and during others they were in similar locations but in opposing footwells.

Karl (as ever) is quite correct - they moved them from being side by side to opposite footwells.
So on mine it looks like this...

My 2007 DB9 had them side by side in the drivers footwell. A bugger to get to but I have left my bluetooth OBD2 reader plugged in there permanently now. Works a treat with my Android tablet.

Just to put a lid on this thread, the single OBD2 port I found next to the drivers footwell light was, in fact, the power train port. I used my Clarke reader (quite a good tool), which is CANBUS compatible, and Bobs your uncle. I've chucked the cheap android thing in the bin.

Happy to report that there are no faults logged and everything is tickety boo

I have a 2006 DB9 volante US model. Can anyone give me advice of which odb2 model I should purchase? Do I need special software for the DB9 or is it generic? I need to clear errors.

I am getting "Emission system........." amber warning permanently when I switch the car on and I get "urgent emission..." red warning when I drive hard. The dealer checked the car, charged me a fortune and said all ok. 30 miles later the warnings came back.
