the OBD2 port is under the dash driver's side above the brake pedal. If there's anything on the can network you can talk to that's where you'll access it.

It's probably one of several.

Saw an interesting article the other day about thieves hacking in to the CAN through the headlights of certain cars. Then hacking it to get the car to let them in so that they can steal it. Called CAN injection. Crazy stuff.
