Amazon Amazon

Anyone used a similar product? Where would I plug this in on a 3IS?

There is a thread on Carista, which is a similar product and allows you to change the customizable features of the vehicle, as well as being a code reader.
The OBD2 port is located under the drivers lower dash panel on the left side.

I got a wireless reader from amazon (similar to the one listed) and using carista is a breeze. Granted the options to "code" are pretty limited but worth it. Turned off seatbelt chime, windows down with remote, odometer cleared from screen, etc. wish windows can roll up with remote as well.
