Soooooooooo. I messed up lol.

I forgot I have a canada specd Kia Stinger and I live in the states.

Long story short, I purchased a Stinger in the states but didn't realize it was a canada specd one. My mistake. They didn't share that info but I guess I should of did more digging.

But anyways. I bought a LAP3 Pro-tuner and instructions show a diagnostic port under the hood. Mine doesn't have that.

Am I shit out of luck?
 
Its not actually "next" to the ECU, it on the front side of the strut tower closer to the intake. Says diagnostic port with a flip top lid.

Wow, that is weird. The little cord that is sitting there, where does that go?

What the hell is that? lol Block heater maybe?
 
You Might have to tap into power on the OBD2 port under the dash. I watched a video of a JB4 install and in the video they didnt have the port there either, had to go into the dash and plug into the OBD for power.

I believe they removed that diagnostic port after a certain year.
 
Might have to call LAP3.
 
Yeah, just confirmed, my 2022 doesn't have the diagnostic port.
 
It's a different plug unfortunately
