In this video we can see where the OBD port is located in the Volkswagen Tiguan, useful in case we need to read the errors recorded by the ECU in case of malfunction. As shown, the diagnostic port is located inside the passenger compartment, specifically in the lower left area of the dashboard on the driver's side. It is recognizable both by its unmistakable shape and by the pink color.
