In this video, see where the EOBD (European On Board Diagnostic) socket is located on the Opel Vivaro. This socket allows the vehicle to communicate with maintenance personnel and enthusiasts who perform DIY. As this is a commercial vehicle, this feature is even more crucial.

The EOBD socket is located between the steering column and the driver's door, under a plastic cover that can be easily removed.
