The reason that you don't see it is because it is underneath a small carpeted panel that snaps on and off. Look on the passenger's side of the center console, and you will eventually find a place where the carpet isn't flush. Snap that panel off and the service port is under it.

hes got a 4g lude, unless his avatar is misleading

the plug has two wires going to it, it is clipped into a connector that just pops in and holds it down there, the wires dont go anywhere else....
