OBD port location in a Nissan Pathfinder R51

R51 2005–2012

Driver's footwell, to the left of the steering column (RHD), above the pedals at knee level. The connector sits behind a small snap-off plastic panel integrated into the lower dash trim, directly above the pedal cluster. The same position is consistent across all R51 trims (XE, XS, LE) and across the 2008 facelift — no trim variation on location.
