Illustration — use it to know where to look.

Location

Right-hand drive only. The 16-pin socket is under the lower edge of the dash on the driver's side, near the steering column - kneel in the door opening with a torch and look up, as it faces downwards. Exact position, and whether it differs between the early and late RA or between single, space and crew cabs, has not been confirmed.
