On Volkswagen Tiguan vehicles produced in 2019, the OBD port is located inside the cabin, specifically near the pedals. Unlike other vehicles where the port is covered by a lid, on these vehicles the port is easily accessible, so to use it you just need to locate it and connect it to the computer for diagnostics.

The reference color of the port in question, to distinguish it from others, is purple. The requirement for the installation of the OBD port in vehicles was established starting from the 2000s. Its operation is not only related to the search for problems within the vehicle, but also to the search for any malfunctions that could lead to road accidents.
